Document Summary
Chemistry 2213a fall 2012 western university. The carboxyl group results from the connection of a hydroxyl group to a carbonyl group. The functional group retains some properties of a carbonyl group, some of a hydroxyl group, plus some properties unique to the carboxyl group. In iupac nomenclature, the carboxyl group is always given priority, with its carbon assigned as atom #1. The e in the word alkane is changed to oic acid. For complicated compounds, we can use the ending carboxylic acid. If we use this system, the carboxylic acid name does not count as part of the parent hydrocarbon.

If a molecule contains a carbonyl in addition to the carboxyl group, the carbonyl oxygen is denoted by oxo. Like carbonyl compounds, greek letters are often used to indicate substituent positions. As seen in chapter 2, carboxylic acids are acidic. They are very polar compounds that can have extensive.
