Document Summary

17. 1 structure: the carboxylic acid (-cooh) contains a carbonyl group bonded to an -oh group. 17. 4 acidity: values for the pka for alipathic carboxylic acids are in the range of 4. 0-5. 0, the greater the acidity of carboxylic acids compared with alcohols is explained by the charge delocalization through resonance in a carboxylate. Ch17: carboxylic acids anion relative to an alkoxide ion and the electron- withdrawing inductive effect of the carbonyl group: electron-withdrawing substituents near the carboxyl group increases its acidity. 17. 7 esterification: fischer esterification is the preparation of an ester by treating a carboxylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst such as sulphuric acid. Fischer esterification is reversible: treating a carboxylic acid with diazomethane (ch2n2) gives a methyl ester in high yield. 17. 8 conversion to acid chlorides: acid chlorides are prepared from a carboxyl group by treatment with thionyl chloride (socl2).
