Acidity is due to Delocalization of the Charge in the Conjugate Base
Carboxylic Acid Preparations • Oxidation of 1o alcohols and aldehydes with Na2Cr2O7/H2SO4 • KMnO4 oxidation of alkylbenzenes • Grignard reaction with CO2 (Carboxylation) • Hydrolysis of a carboxylic derivative: e.g. acid chloride, acid anhydride, ester, amide, nitrile
