An organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties.The relative stability of the conjugate base of the acid determines its acidity. In biological systems, organic compounds containing these groups are generally referred to as organic acids.
Common organic acids are the carboxylic acids, whose acidity is associated with their carboxyl group –COOH. Sulfonic acids, containing the group –SO2OH, are stronger acids. Phenols, with aromatic –OH, are usually much weaker. Phosphoric acidderivatives are also moderately strong. Other groups, such as the thiol group –SH and the enol group, can also confer acidity, usually weakly.
