Carboxylic Acids
Introduction
• Carbonyl (-C=O) and hydroxyl (-OH) on
the same carbon is carboxyl group.
• Carboxyl group is usually written -COOH.
• Aliphatic acids have an alkyl group
bonded to -COOH.
• Aromatic acids have an aryl group.
• Fatty acids are long-chain aliphatic acids.

Common Names
• Many aliphatic acids have historical names.
• Positions of substituents on the chain are
labeled with Greek letters.

IUPAC Names
• Remove -e from alkane (or alkene)
name, add -oic acid.
• The carbon of the carboxyl group is #1.

Naming Cyclic Acids
• Cycloalkanes bonded to -COOH are named
as cycloalkanecarboxylic acids.
• Aromatic acids are named as benzoic acids.

Dicarboxylic Acids
• Aliphatic diacids are usually called by
their common names (to be memorized).
• For IUPAC name, number the chain from
the end closest to a substituent.
• Two carboxyl groups on a benzene ring
COOH
indicate a phthalic acid.

Structure of Carboxyl
• Carbon is sp2 hybridized.
• Bond angles are close to 120.
• O-H eclipsed with C=O, to get overlap of 
orbital with orbital of lone pair on oxygen.

Boiling Points
Higher boiling points than similar alcohols,
due to dimer formation.
Acetic acid, b.p. 118C

Melting Points
• Aliphatic acids with more than 8
carbons are solids at room temperature.
• Double bonds (especially cis) lower the
melting point. Note these 18-C acids:
Stearic acid (saturated): 72C
Oleic acid (one cis double bond): 16C
Linoleic acid (two cis double bonds): -5C

Solubility
• Water solubility decreases with the length
of the carbon chain.
• Up to 4 carbons, acid is miscible in water.
• More soluble in alcohol.
• Also soluble in relatively nonpolar
solvents like chloroform because it
dissolves as a dimer.

Salts of Carboxylic Acids
• Sodium hydroxide removes a proton to
form the salt.
• Adding a strong acid, like HCl,
regenerates the carboxylic acid.

Properties of Acid Salts
• Usually solids with no odor.
• Carboxylate salts of Na+, K+, Li+, and
NH4+ are soluble in water.
• Soap is the soluble sodium salt of a
long chain fatty acid.
• Salts can be formed by the reaction of
an acid with NaHCO3, releasing CO2.

Some Important Acids
• Acetic acid is in vinegar and other
foods, used industrially as solvent,
catalyst, and reagent for synthesis.
• Fatty acids from fats and oils.
• Benzoic acid in drugs, preservatives.
• Adipic acid used to make nylon 66.
• Phthalic acid used to make polyesters.

Synthesis Review
• Oxidation of primary alcohols and
aldehydes with chromic acid.
• Cleavage of an alkene with hot KMnO4
produces a carboxylic acid if there is a
hydrogen on the double-bonded carbon.
• Cleavage of an alkyne with ozone or hot
permanganate.
• Alkyl benzene oxidized to benzoic acid
by hot KMnO4 or hot chromic acid.

Acid Derivatives
• The group bonded to the acyl carbon
determines the class of compound:
-OH, carboxylic acid
-Cl, acid chloride
-OR’, ester
-NH2, amide
• These interconvert via nucleophilic acyl
substitution.

Amides from Acids
• Amine (base) removes a proton from
the carboxylic acid to form a salt.
• Heating the salt above 100C drives off
steam and forms the amide.

Reduction to 1 Alcohols
• Use strong reducing agent, LiAlH4.
• Borane, BH3 in THF, reduces carboxylic
acid to alcohol, but does not reduce ketone.

Reduction to Aldehyde
• Difficult to stop reduction at aldehyde.
• Use a more reactive form of the acid (an
acid chloride) and a weaker reducing agent,
lithium aluminum tri(t-butoxy)hydride.

Acid Chlorides
• An activated form of the carboxylic acid.
• Chloride is a good leaving group, so
undergoes acyl substitution easily.
• To synthesize acid chlorides use thionyl
chloride or oxalyl chloride with the acid.

Esters from Acid Chlorides
• Acid chlorides react with alcohols to
give esters in good yield.
• Mechanism is nucleophilic addition of
the alcohol to the carbonyl as chloride
ion leaves, then deprotonation.
