Butenoic acid is any of three monocarboxylic acids with an unbranched 4-carbon chain with 3 single bonds and one double bond; that is, with the structural formula HO(O=)C–CH=CH–CH 2–H (2-butenoic) or HO(O=)C–CH 2–CH=CH–H (3-butenoic). All have the chemical formula C 3H 5COOH or C 4H 6O 2.
These compounds are technically mono-unsaturated fatty acids, although some authors may exclude them for being too short. The three isomers are:
crotonic acid (trans-2-butenoic or (2E)-but-2-enoic acid)
isocrotonic acid (cis-2-butenoic or (2Z)-but-2-enoic acid)
3-butenoic acid (but-3-enoic acid).[1][2]
