Derivatives of Carboxylic Acids and NucleophilicAcyl Substitution
Carboxylic Acids • A class of organic compounds containing at least one carboxyl group
R = alkyl group or H alkanoic acid(sat’d) R = aryl group aromatic carboxylic acid
Aliphatic carboxylic acid = fatty acids (sat’d or unsat’d) ∵ obtained from fat/oil E.g. stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH oleic acid, CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH
Carboxylic Acids • Carboxyl group • combination of the carbonyl group and the hydroxyl group
Nomenclature Suffix : carboxylic acid or oic acid Prefix : carboxy
Q.62 (2Z)-but-2-enoic acid butanoic acid ethanedioic acid
3-carboxy-3-hydroxypentainedicarboxylic acid Q.62 butanedioic acid 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid (citric acid)
Q.62 benzoic acid Benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid
Q.62 4-hydroxybenzoic acid phenylethanoic acid
Acyl (Acid) Chlorides Suffix : -oic acid replaced by –oyl chloride Prefix : chlorocarbonyl
Acyl (Acid) Chlorides 3-chloro-3-oxopropanoic acid Priority : - -COOH > anhydride > ester > acid chloride > acid amide The carbonyl C is counted as part of the carbon skeleton
Q.63 4-chloro-2-methyl-4-oxobutanoic acid hexanedioyl dichloride 3-(chlorocarbonyl)hexanedioic acid
Acid anhydride Suffix : -acid replaced by –anhydride
Acid anhydride * Prefix : n-(alkanoyloxy)-n-oxo(if *C is counted as part of the main chain) n indicates the position of the *C in the main chain
Acid anhydride * Prefix : (alkanoyloxy)carbonyl (if *C is not counted as part of the main chain)
Acid anhydride ethanoic anhydride ethanoic propanoic anhydride
Acid anhydride benzoic ethanoic anhydride butanedioic anhydride
Q.64 Benzene-1,2-dioic anhydride
Ester Suffix : -oic acid replaced by –oate preceded by the name of R’
Ester * Prefix : n-alkoxy-n-oxo(if *C is counted as part of the main chain) n indicates the position of the *C in the main chain
Ester * Prefix : alkoxycarbonyl (if *C is not counted as part of the main chain)
Ester methyl ethanoate ethenyl ethanoate methyl 4-bromobenzoate
Q.65 2-(ethanoyloxy)benzoic acid 2-(acetyloxy)benzoic acid 2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid
Acid amide Suffix : -oic acid replaced by -amide
Ester * Prefix : n-amino-n-oxo(if *C is counted as part of the main chain) n indicates the position of the *C in the main chain
Ester * Prefix : aminocarbonyl (if *C is not counted as part of the main chain)
Ester N,N-dimethylethanamide (3) ethanamide (1) N-methylethanamide (2)
Q.66 4-amino-4-oxobutanoic acid benzamide 3-(aminocarbonyl)heptanedioic acid
Odour Methanoic / ethanoic acid sharp, irritating odours • Propanoic to heptanoic acid • strong, unpleasant odours • Butanoic acid body odour Higher members low volatility little odour
b.p. steadily as the number of C atoms ∵ London dispersion forces become stronger as the size of electron cloud
HCOOH/CH3COOH have exceptionally high m.p. ∵ smaller size 1. closer packing 2. forming H-bonds more extensitively
Members with EVEN no. of C atoms are more symmetrical Higher packing efficiency Higher m.p.
Pure ethanoic acid = glacial ethanoic acid It freezes in cold weather
More extensive H-bonds H-bonds Dipole-dipole interaction Dispersion forces ONLY
Less dense than water except HCOOH/CH3COOH
as R.M.M. R.M.M. extent of H-bond formation molecules not drawn closer lower packing efficiency
For alkanes, as R.M.M. ∵ no intermolecular H-bonds R.M.M. Dispersion forces become stronger closer packing
First FOUR members are miscible with water in all proportions due to extensive H-bond formation between acid molecules and water molecules
From pentanoic acid, solubility as R.M.M. The bulky R groups prevent formation of H-bonds between –COOH and H2O
Non-polar ionic Emulsifying action of soap (salts of carboxylic acids) depends on the length of the hydrocarbon chain
1.Hydrolysis of Nitriles Elimination occurs for 2 and 3 RX as CN is a relatively strong base
2.Oxidation of aldehydes and 1alcohols (pp.83-84, 93) 3.Oxidation of aromatic side chains(pp.54-55) 4.Iodoform reactions (p.92)
