It is 2-propylvaleric acid (or: 2-propyl-pentanoic acid),
structural formula (C3H7)2-CH-C(=0)(-OH), trivially known as 'dipropyl acetic acid'.
Valproic acid was first synthesized in 1882 by Burton as an analogue of valeric acid, found naturally in valerian.
The French researcher Pierre Eymard in 1962 serendipitously discovered the anticonvulsant properties of valproic acid.
Nowadays valproate is also known as folate antagonist with teratogenic properties for which women, wanting to become pregnant, should be warned when using it as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug (primarily in the treatment of epilepsy, Bipolar disorder, and less commonly major depression).

Why old butter has larger acid value than the new butter?
Butter when fresh is in the state of being a triacylglycerol, 3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone. When a butter ages it undergoes a process of oxidation called lipolysis. This is where the fatty acid chains split from the glycerol backbone the result of which is the formation noticeably off flavours being present in the butter. Hence the point of using old and new butter is that the old butter should have a higher acid value than the fresh butter
Why use old and new butter in acid value test?
An acid value test is preformed on butter to gauge the levels of free fatty acids. Butter when fresh is in the state of being a triacylglycerol, 3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone. When a butter ages it undergoes a process of oxidation called lipolysis. This is where the fatty acid chains split from the glycerol backbone the result of which is the formation noticeably off flavours being present in the butter. Hence the point of using old and new butter is that the old butter should have a higher acid value than the fresh butter.
What is the difference between old and new aspirin?
When aspirin gets old, it begins to decompose and you get a vinegar smell. If you smell that, the aspirin is decomposing and acetic acid is being released. Aspirin should be used before the decomposition occurs. It will still work, because the salicylic acid that does the work is still there. It can be corrosive to the stomach and that's why they combine it with a process that produces acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). When decomposition occurs, you get salicylic acid and acetic acid.
