In older or informal Finnish chemistry usage, the expression is sometimes used to refer to acids that originate from alcohols, particularly carboxylic acids formed by oxidation of primary alcohols. As such, the term functions more as a descriptor than as a precise chemical designation.
In chemical terms, alcohols themselves are weak acids, with protons attached to oxygen not readily lost under
Examples often associated with the broader idea include methanol oxidizing to formic acid and ethanol oxidizing
Safety and handling follow the typical concerns for organic acids: they are generally corrosive and require
