O -I effect O-H R C Structure Two functional groups adjacent to each other C=O and –OH groups modify each other and shows different properties.
Formation of RCOOH • Halides nitriles acids • Oxidation of 1o R-OH and R-CHO • Oxidation of Alkylbenzene • Iodoform reaction
Carbonyl group property Acidic property O R C H O Alkanolic property Decarboxylation Possible reactions
O R C H O Acidity Greater polarization of this bond extra +ve Polarization of this bond is increased, O-H bond is weakened. (Acidic)
.. O O- R C R C .. O- O Acidity -ve charge is spreaded over the –C=O group and stabilize the anion RCOO-
Acid strength RCOOH RCOO- + H+ Acid pKa HCOOH 3.8 CH3COOH 4.8 CH3CH2COOH 4.9 CH3CH3CH2COOH 4.8 All are weak acids, <1% ionized in water
Question • Explain the following order of acid strength • a. RCOOH > C6H5OH > R-OH • b. CCl3COOH > CHCl2COOH > CH2ClCOOH • > CH3COOH
Formation of salts • Formation of salts by reacting with • Metals • Carbonates • Hydroxides

Conversion to Acid Derivatives • To Acyl chlorides • PCl5/SOCl2 • RCOOH RCOCl • To Ester • H+ • R’COOH + ROH R’COOR + H2O
Conversion to Acid Derivatives • To acid anhydride • RCOOH + R’COCl RCOOCOR’ + HCl • To amide • RCOOH + NH3 RCOO-NH4+ • excess RCOOH • RCONH2 + H2O • reflux • (excess RCOOH is used to repress the hydrolysis of amide)
