What is ANGELIC ACID?
Description
Angelic acid (cis-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) is an unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acid that was discovered by Munich pharmacist Ludwig Andreas Buchner in 1842. Buchner isolated it from the carrot-like roots of the herb Angelica archangelica (garden angelica). According to lore, an archangel revealed the herb’s medicinal properties, hence the heavenly name.
Since its discovery, angelic acid and its esters have been found in other plants, such as Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), sabadilla (Schoenocaulon officinale), and lovage (Levisticum officinale). It is often found together with its more thermodynamically stable trans isomer, tiglic acid1.
In 1949, Robert E. Buckles* and Gene V. Mock at Iowa State University (Ames) reported the synthesis of tiglic acid by treating 2-hydroxy-2-methylbutyronitrile2 with sulfuric acid, followed by hydrolysis. They then converted tiglic acid to angelic acid in a three-step process: (1) addition of bromine across the double bond; (2) reaction with potassium hydroxide to form 3-bromoangelic acid3; and (3) reduction with sodium amalgam to produce angelic acid. Six years later, Buckles, Mock, and Louis Locatell, Jr., wrote an extensive review of the chemistry of both isomers.
Angelic and tiglic acids are used primarily as their esters in such products as perfumes and flavorings. The angelic ester petasin4, originally discovered in the common butterbur plant (Petasites hybridus), is a sesquiterpene with potential medical uses.
Despite its name, angelic acid has a spicy—even pungent—odor and a biting, acidic taste. As shown in the hazard information table, it must be handled with care.

The Uses of ANGELIC ACID
Flavoring extracts.
Definition
ChEBI: The (Z)-isomer of 2-methylbut-2-enoic acid. It is found in plant species of the family Apiaceae.
Synthesis
Among many methods know n, one uses 2-Hydroxy-2-buty ronitrile to produce Tiglic acid, from which Angelic can be made by Bromine treatment. Another method goes directly from alpha-H ydroxy-alphu-me~h ylbutyric acid which by dehydration yields Angelic acid, or a mixture of Angelic and Tiglic acids.
