### organic compounds:

Organic acid
* All organic acids are soluble in organic solvents like benzene, ethanol, ether, etc.
* Many organic acids are naturally present in food items.
* Most organic acids are very weak.
* Some organic acid derives from bacteria
  - is released by bacteria
  - produces during metabolism
  - stimulates growth
* are also a natural product of composting, especially when anaerobic conditions exist
  - dangerous materials to handle
  - highly corrosive to metal machine parts and paint
  - more effective as preservatives in the undissociated state
  - much, much milder than mineral acids and occur quite commonly in everyday life
  - very important compounds in living things
* contain carbon atoms.
* find use in medicines.
* have a carboxyl group and long a chain of carbons attached to it.
* is organic compounds.
* play an important role in the flavor and taste of plant-derived foods.

Organic creatine phosphate
* Creatine phosphate has that ability
  - helps the body to perform intense exercise
  - high-energy compound stored in muscle
* Creatine phosphate is also involved in the transfer of energy within the muscle cell
  - an organic compound
  - broken down very quickly and produces energy extremely fast
  - much more expensive to manufacture while it offers no advantage
  - produced by the process of anaerobic respiration
  - the a substance that exists in limited quantities within the cells
  - used by the body as an immediate source of energy for muscles
  - major provider of energy during high intensity short term exercise

Organic creosote
* A creosote is an organic compound
* Creosote build-up can create a fire hazard
  - burns with an intense flame that can damage mortar
  - catches fire easily and burns hot
* Creosote contains chemicals which are probable carcinogens
  - impurities that are toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic
* Creosotes are organic compounds.

Organic cyanide
* Cyanide acts as an agent to separate the rock from gold
  - increases reduction but decreases sequestration of methylene blue by endothelial cells
* Cyanide is an organic compound
  - chemical compounds
  - inanimate objects
  - salt
  - toxic substances
  - runs straight up the water groove to the tree at the summit
  - taken in the diet is detoxified in the body, resulting in the production of thiocyanate
* Cyanides are both man-made and naturally occurring substances
  - highly toxic
  - in liquid state in munitions but rapidly vaporize upon detonation of the munitions
  - less soluble than acetates
  - can form if nitrogen is heated with carbon in the presence of alkalies or barium oxide
* Most cyanides come from industrial processes and are hazardous.

### organic cyanide:

Cyanide fishing
* is also a profitable enterprise for investors and boat owners
  - common in the South Pacific and Southeast Asia
* poses a serious threat to some of the world's most diverse coral reefs.

Sodium cyanide
* corrosive, highly toxic chemical.
* dissolves instantly in water, turning into hydrocyanic acid.
* is acutely toxic to any living thing
  - produced from the reaction between hydrogen cyanide and sodium hydroxide
* white, crystalline compound.

Organic enol
* An enol is an organic compound
* Enols are also carbon nucleophiles
  - tautomers of ketones or aldehydes
  - isomerize to carbonyl groups in the way described in the text
+ Nucleophile, Types of nucleophiles, Carbon nucleophiles: Physical organic chemistry
  * Enols are also carbon nucleophiles. The formation of an enol is catalyzed by acid or base.
  * Enols are tautomers of ketones or aldehydes. Tautomers are molecules which are different only in the position of an hydrogen atom. Enols can be made very easily from ketones or aldehydes using a base. However, they can do many interesting reactions. The best example is the aldol reaction.
