Document Summary

Chapter 17: carbonyl caompounds i: reactions of carboxylic. Carbonyl group a carbon double bonded to an oxygen. Carbonyl compound a compound that contains a carbonyl group. An acyl group consists of carbonyl group attached to an alkyl group (r) or to an aryl group (ar). The group (or atom) attached to the acyl group strongly affects the reactivity of the carbonyl compound. Class i carbonyl compounds are those in which the acyl group is attached to a group (or atom) that can be replaced by another group. Carboxylic acids, acyl halides, acid anhydrides, esters, and amides belong to this class. All these compounds contain a group (oh, cl, or, nh2, nhr, nr2) that can be replaced by a nucleophile. Acyl halides, acid anhydrides, esters, and amines are called carboxylic acid derivatives because they differ from a carboxylic acid only in the nature of the group or atom that has replaced the oh group of the carboxylic acid.
