'''Glycolic acid''' (or '''hydroxyacetic acid'''; chemical formula {{chem2|HOCH2CO2H}}) is a colorless, odorless and ] ], highly ] in water. It is used in various ] products. Glycolic acid is widespread in nature. A '''glycolate''' (sometimes spelled "glycollate") is a ] or ] of glycolic acid. |

|
|
== History == |
|
|
The name "glycolic acid" was coined in 1848 by French chemist ] (1807–1853). He proposed that the ] ]—which was then called ''glycocolle''—might be the ] of a hypothetical acid, which he called "glycolic acid" (''acide glycolique'').<ref>Laurent, Auguste (1848). {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200727162914/https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hx3dy2&view=1up&seq=114 |date=2020-07-27 }} ("On aminated acids and the sugar of gelatine "), ''Annales de Chimie et de Physique'', 3rd series, '''23''': 110–123. From p. 112: "''Appelons ce dernier ''acide glycolique'' ... ''" ("Let us call the latter 'glycolic acid' ...")</ref> |
|
|
|
|
|
Glycolic acid was first prepared in 1851 by German chemist ] (1822–1871) and Russian chemist Nikolai Nikolaevich Sokolov (1826–1877). They produced it by treating ] with ] and ] to form an ] of ] and glycolic acid ({{chem2|C6H5C(\dO)OCH2COOH}}), which they called "benzoglycolic acid" (''Benzoglykolsäure''; also benzoyl glycolic acid). They boiled the ester for days with dilute ], thereby obtaining benzoic acid and glycolic acid (''Glykolsäure'').<ref>Socoloff, Nicolaus and Strecker, Adolph (1851) {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200727162846/https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=njp.32101044011185&view=1up&seq=409 |date=2020-07-27 }} ("Investigation of some products that arise from hippuric acid"), ''Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie'', '''80''': 17–43. For their production of glycolic acid, see pp. 34–37. Note: Strecker and Sokolov's empirical formula for glycolic acid (viz, {{chem2|C4H4O6}}) was incorrect, because like many chemists at that time, they used the wrong atomic masses for carbon (6 instead of 12) and for oxygen (8 instead of 16).</ref><ref>(Socoloff and Strecker, 1851), p. 37. In recognition of Laurent's correct surmise, Strecker and Sokolov named glycolic acid: ''"Die in dem Barytsalz enthaltene Säure {{chem2|C4H3O5}} oder als Säurehydrat gedacht {{chem2|C4H4O6}} kommt mit der Säure überein, als deren Amidverbindung man das Glycocoll betrachten kann, und welche daher von Laurent den Namen ''Glycolsäure'' erhalten hat."'' (The acid {{chem2|C4H3O5}} contained in the barium salt — or considered as the acid hydrate {{chem2|C4H4O6}} — is consistent with the acid whose amide can be regarded as glycocoll and which therefore obtained from Laurent the name "glycolic acid".)</ref> |

|
== Preparation == |
|
|
Glycolic acid can be synthesized in various ways. The predominant approaches use a catalyzed reaction of ] with ] (] of formaldehyde), for its low cost.<ref name="carbonylation">D.J. Loder, {{US Patent| 2152852}} (1939).</ref> |
|
|
|
|
|
It is also prepared by the reaction of ] with ] followed by re-acidification. |
|
|
|
|
|
Other methods, not noticeably in use, include ] of ], and ] of the ] derived from ].<ref name=Ullmann/> Some of today's glycolic acids are ]-free. Glycolic acid can be isolated from natural sources, such as ], ]s, ], ] and unripe ]s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.3dchem.com/glycolic-acid.asp|title=Glycolic acid, What is Glycolic acid?

Glycolic acid can also be prepared using an enzymatic biochemical process that may require less energy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://thaipolychemicals.weebly.com/glycolic-acid.html|title=Glycolic acid|website=thaipolychemicals.weebly.com|access-date=2017-05-02|archive-date=2017-08-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825204815/http://thaipolychemicals.weebly.com/glycolic-acid.html|url-status=live}}</ref> |

==Properties== |
|
|
Glycolic acid is slightly stronger than acetic acid due to the electron-withdrawing power of the terminal hydroxyl group. The carboxylate group can coordinate to metal ions, forming coordination complexes. Of particular note are the complexes with Pb<sup>2+</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> which are significantly stronger than complexes with other carboxylic acids. This indicates that the hydroxyl group is involved in complex formation, possibly with the loss of its proton.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sigel |first1=Astrid| last2=Operschall| first2=Bert P.|last3=Sigel |first3=Helmut |

=== Organic synthesis === |
|
|
Glycolic acid is a useful intermediate for organic synthesis, in a range of reactions including: ]-], ] and long chain ]. It is used as a ] in the preparation of ] and other ] ]s (e.g. ]). Commercially, important derivatives include the methyl (CAS# 96-35-5) and ethyl (CAS# 623-50-7) esters which are readily distillable (boiling points 147–149 °C and 158–159 °C, respectively), unlike the parent acid. The butyl ester (b.p. 178–186 °C) is a component of some ]es, being desirable because it is nonvolatile and has good dissolving properties.<ref name="Ullmann">{{Ullmann|author=Karlheinz Miltenberger|title=Hydroxycarboxylic Acids, Aliphatic|year=2005|doi=10.1002/14356007.a13_507}}</ref> |
