Acrylic acid is an organic compound. Acrylic acid is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, consisting of a vinyl group directly bonded to the end of a carboxyl group. This colorless liquid has a characteristic pungent odor. Acrylic acid is used as a monomer in the production of acrylic resins and forms acrylate esters when reacted with alcohols. Acrylic acid is miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, and chloroform.
