  1. 19.16a-Halogenation of Carboxylic Acids:The Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky Reaction

  2. O O R2CCOH R2CCOH H X a -Halogenation of Carboxylic Acids • analogous to a-halogenation of aldehydes and ketones • key question: Is enol content of carboxylic acids high enough to permit reaction to occur at reasonable rate? (Answer is NO) + + X2 HX

  3. O O R2CCOH R2CCOH H X But... • reaction works well if a small amount ofphosphorus or a phosphorus trihalide is added tothe reaction mixture • this combination is called the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction P or PX3 + + X2 HX

  21. Section 19.18Spectroscopic Analysis ofCarboxylic Acids

  22. Infrared Spectroscopy • A carboxylic acid is characterized by peaks due toOH and C=O groups in its infrared spectrum. • C=O stretching gives an intense absorptionnear 1700 cm-1. • OH peak is broad and overlaps with C—H absorptions.

  24. 1H NMR • proton of OH group of a carboxylic acid is normallythe least shielded of all of the protons in a 1HNMR spectrum: (d 10-12 ppm; broad).

  26. 13C NMR • Carbonyl carbon is at low field (d 160-185 ppm), but not as deshielded as the carbonyl carbon of an aldehyde or ketone (d 190-215 ppm).

  27. UV-VIS Carboxylic acids absorb near 210 nm, butUV-VIS spectroscopy has not proven to be very useful for structure determination of carboxylic acids.
