Previous results obtained about 2 propyl pentanoic acid (dipropylacetic or DPA) have been extended to other dialkylalkanoic acids having less than 14 carbon atoms and to some of their precursors (alcohols) or derivatives (amides). The effect of lengthening the chain bonding between the carbon bearing the two alkyl chains and the functional carbon on about 50 molecules is discussed. The anticonvulsant activity's length and strength often increases when lengthening that chain.
