DescriptionIsobutyric acid, also known as isobutyrate or iso-C3H7COOH, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Isobutyric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Isobutyric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
