Carboxylic acids esters reactivity Reesterification When treated the ester with a high boiling alcohol the alcoholic part of the molecule is changed for other chain; low boiling alcohol is from the reaction mixture distilled off. When ester treated with more nucleophilic species like ammonia or an amin the alcoholic part of the ester is exchanged for nitrogen compound and amide is prepared.
Carboxylic acids esters reactivity Hydrolysis of esters acid catalysis basic catalysis (saponification) during base catalysed reaction salts of carboxylic acid are prepared the salts of long chain acids are caled soaps, (they are prepared by saponification of fats by NaOH and KOH) Ca2+ a Mg2+ salts are not soluble in water
Carboxylic acids esters reactivity Hydrolysis of fats by alcali - saponification mechanism of esters hydrolysis by alkalies after reaction are formed soaps and glycerol Application of soaps : lubricates, detergents

Functional derivatives of carboxylic acids • electron gap at carbonyl is smaller than that at esters and the reactions at amide are more difficult • hydrogen atoms at N-atom are acidic Compound
