The propanoate or propionate ion is C2H5COO− (propanoic acid minus one hydrogen ion).
A propanoic or propionic compound is a salt or ester of propanoic acid.
Propanoates should not be confused with propenoates (also known as acrylates), the ions/salts/esters of propenoic acid (also known as 2-propenoic acid or acrylic acid).
Examples
- Sodium propanoate, NaC2H5CO2
- Methyl propanoate, (C2H5(CO)OCH3)
- Calcium propanoate, Ca(C2H5CO2)2
- Potassium propanoate, KC2H5CO2
- Testosterone propanoate
- Fluticasone propanoate
