History
Propionic acid was first described in 1844 by Johann Gottlieb. Over the next few years, other chemists produced propionic acid in various other ways, none of them realizing they were producing the same substance. In 1847, the French chemist Jean-Baptiste Dumas established that all the acids were the same compound, which he called propionic acid,it was the smallest H(CH2)nCOOH acid that exhibited the properties of the other fatty acids, such as producing an oily layer when salted out of water and having a soapy potassium salt.
Uses
Propionic acid can prepare the propionate ester for the use of spices,and it also can be used as solvents for cellulose nitrate and plasticizers, etc.
Production
In industry, propionic acid is mainly produced by the hydrocarboxylation of ethylene using nickel carbonyl as the catalyst:
H2C=CH2 + H2O + CO → CH3CH2CO2H
It is also produced by the aerobic oxidation of propionaldehyde. In the presence of cobalt or manganese ns, this reaction proceeds rapidly at temperatures as mild as 40–50 °C:
CH3CH2CHO + 1/2O2 → CH3CH2COOH.

HazardClass: 8
PackingGroup: II
Propionic acid is poisonous by intraperitoneal route,and it is moderately toxic by ingestion, skin contact, and intravenous routes. It is corrosive irritant to eyes, skin, and mucous membranes.Propionic acid is flammable liquid and highly flammable when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. To fight fire, use alcohol foam. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
