1. methanoic acid- formic acid
2. ethanoic acid- acetic acid |
|
|
Name 2 ways to stablize the negative charge and thus increase acidity?
|
1. Add electron withdrawing groups
2. Add groups that allow more resonance stablization |
|
|
Why can't 2' and 3' alcohols be oxidized to carboxylic acids?
|
Due to valence limitations
|
|
|
Grignard reagents + CO2 =
|
RCOOH (Carboxylic acids)
|
|
|
How is a soap formed?
|
Long chain carboxylic acid with sodium or potassium hyroxide
|
|
|
Carboxylic Acids are reduced via LAH to
|
Alcohols
|
|
|
Carboxylic acid + alcohol under acidic conditions =
|
ester + water
|
|
|
Carboxylic Acid + acyl halide =
|
acid chlorides
|
|
|
SOCl2 is used in the conversion of.... (in reference to carboxylic acids)
|

2. Beta keto-acids |
|
|
What is lost in the spontaneous decarboxylation of carboxylic acids.
|
CO2
|
|
|
The spontaneous decarboxylation of carboxylic acids proceeds through a transition state that can be described as.
|
a Six membered ring
|
|
|
What is the product of a heat induced spontaneous decarboxylation of carboxylic acids?
|
enols and ketos (keto form is more stable)
|
|
|
The reduction of a carboxylic acid with LAH will yield what?
|
LAH is a very strong reducing agent so and alcohol will be the product.
|
|
