List of carboxylic acids


Carboxylic acids are organic compounds characterized by a carboxyl (-COOH) functional group. The naming of these compounds is governed by IUPAC nomenclature, which ensures systemic and consistent naming of chemicals. Numerous organic compounds have other common names, often originating in historical use of these. It is worth noting that the IUPAC name is not always the preferred name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systemic rules call 2-Hydroxypropanoic acid.

This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
