Carboxylic Acids, Esters, and Other Acid Derivatives

Bonding Characteristics of Carboxylic Acids A carboxylic acid has functional a carboxyl group. A carboxyl group is a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydroxo group (—OH) bonded to the carboxyl carbon atom.

Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids

Both polar molecules and hydrogen bonding makes:BP and MP are higher than alcohols , hydrocarbons and ether with comparable carbon numbers

Physical Properties of carboxylic acids derivatives Esters, amides, acid chlorides and acid anhydride have lower boiling and melting points than parent acid, Except Carboxylic Acid Salts

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid and Esters

• The IUPAC system deals with functional groups two different ways.

• Modification of the hydrocarbon name to indicate the presence of a functional group.

• Acid – R-COOH use -oic ending.• Esters –R-COOR’ use -oate ending.
