Category:Vinylogous carboxylic acids

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vinylogous carboxylic acids are compounds containing the substructure −CO−(CR=CR')n−OH (n ≥ 1). An example is ascorbic acid. They are not to be confused with enoic acids, compounds containing the substructure −(CR=CR')n−COOH (n ≥ 1).
