Description of Formic acid:

Formic acid (HCO2H), also called methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid. Formic acid was first isolated by the distillation of ant bodies and was named after the Latin formica, meaning "ant." Its proper IUPAC name is now methanoic acid. Industrially, formic acid is produced by treatment of carbon monoxide with an alcohol such as methanol (methyl alcohol) in the presence of a catalyst.

Formic acid is found both naturally occurring and frequently synthesized in laboratories. It is most naturally found in the stings and bites of many insects, including bees and ants, as a chemical defense mechanism.

Application of Formic acid:

Widely used in industries such as pesticides, leather, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and rubber. Formic acid can be directly used for fabric processing, tanning, textile printing and dyeing, and storage of green feed. It can also be used as a metal surface treatment agent, rubber additive, and industrial solvent. Used in organic synthesis to synthesize various formate esters, acridine dyes, and formamide series pharmaceutical intermediates.
