Presentation Transcript

  1. Carboxylic acids Vladimíra Kvasnicová

  2. Properties • widely distributed in the nature (AA, FA) • tart taste (vinegar, sour milk, fruits) • low MW: liquids (sharp, unpleasant odor) • high MW: waxlike solids • hydrogen bonds • high boiling points • solubility in water (low MW) • weak acids (carboxylate is stabilized by free e-) • -halogen derivatives are stronger acids

  3. carboxyl group: R-COOH/ R-CO2H • suffix: -oic / -dioic acidparent hydrocarbon carboxylic acid • trivial names! • saturated / unsaturated • mono-, di-, tri-carboxylic acids • alpha () / omega () carbon • - or n- fatty acids • acyl / anion

  4. The figure was adopted from: J.Koolman, K.H.Röhm / Color Atlas of Biochemistry, 2nd edition, Thieme 2005

  5. Important dicarboxylic acids C2 HOOC-COOH oxalic acid C3 HOOC-CH2-COOH malonic acid C4 HOOC-(CH2)2-COOH succinic acid C5 HOOC-(CH2)3-COOH glutaric acid C6 HOOC-(CH2)4-COOH adipic acid HOOC-CH=CH-COOH cismaleic acidtransfumaric acid

  6. Important aromatic carboxylic acids • benzoic acid(= benzene carboxylic acid) • salicylic acid(= 2-hydroxybenzoic acid) • phtalic acid(= benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid)

  7. CH3-COOH CH3-COO- CH3-CO- CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH CH3-CH2-CH2-COO- CH3-CH2-CH2-CO- R-COOH R-COO- R-CO- acetic acid acetate acetyl butyric acid butyrate butyryl carboxylic acid carboxylate acyl EXERCISE

  8. EXERCISE • CH3-CHCl-COOH • CH3-CHBr-CH2COOH • CCl3-COOH • HO-CH2-CH2-COOH • CH3-CH(NH2)-CH2-CH2-COOH • CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-CHCl-COOH • HOOC-CH2-CH2-COOH • (COOH)2
