描述
Propynoic acid is involved in propanoate metabolism and is interconverted between 2-propyn1-al and propynoic acid by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. Propiolic acid is an unsaturated organic acid and it can be prepared by boiling acetylene dicarboxylic acid. It is chemically obtained by the action of alcoholic potash on dibromosuccinic acid, or its acid potassium salt with water. It forms silky crystals which melt at 6 degree centigrade, and boil at about 144 degree centigrade with decomposition. It is soluble in water and possesses an odor resembling that of acetic acid. Exposure to sunlight converts it into trimesic acid (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid). Bromine converts it into dibromoacrylic acid, and it gives with hydrochloric acid O-chloracrylic acid. It forms a characteristic explosive silver salt on the addition of ammoniacal silver nitrate to its aqueous solution, and an amorphous precipitate which explodes on warming with ammoniacal cuprous chloride. Its ethyl ester condenses with hydrazine to form pyrazolone. [HMDB]
