CARBOXYLIC ACIDS• The functional group of carboxylic acids is the carboxyl
group.
• Many carboxylic acids have common names.

CARBOXYLIC ACIDS IUPAC NOMENCLATURE• Find the longest carbon chain that contains the –COOH
group.• Drop the –e from the end of the hydrocarbon name and
substitute –oic acid.• Number the longest chain. Carbon number 1 is the
carboxyl carbon.
• Name and number other substituents.

• Aromatic acid names are derived from the parent compound, benzoic acid.
Example:

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS• Low molecular weight carboxylic acids are liquids at room
temperature and have characteristically sharp or unpleasant odors.
• The –COOH group is very polar. Hydrogen bonding between –COOH groups creates dimers (two identical molecules bonded together).
• This gives carboxylic acids high boiling points (greater than alcohols).

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, cont.• –COOH groups can hydrogen bond with water. If the
hydrophobic –R group is not too large, carboxylic acids are very water soluble.

ACIDITY OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS• Carboxylic acids behave as weak acids (low dissociation),
forming carboxylate ions in water.
Example:
![Page 10: Chapter 15: Carboxylic Acids and Esters](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082211/56812bc6550346895d900e19/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
SALTS OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS• Carboxylic acids react readily with strong bases (NaOH,
KOH) to form salts.
![Page 11: Chapter 15: Carboxylic Acids and Esters](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082211/56812bc6550346895d900e19/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

SALTS, cont.• To name a carboxylic acid salt, name the metal ion first
and change the –ic ending of the acid name to –ate.
Example:
![Page 13: Chapter 15: Carboxylic Acids and Esters](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082211/56812bc6550346895d900e19/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

USEFUL CARBOXYLIC ACID SALTS• Na+ and K+ salts of long-chain acids are used as soaps
(sodium stearate).• Calcium and sodium propanoate are used as preservatives
in bakery products.• Sodium benzoate is a food preservative used in ketchup
and soda pop.
• Zinc 10-undecylenate is used to treat athlete’s foot.

CARBOXYLIC ESTERS• The ester functional group with the ester linkage between
the carbonyl carbon and the oxygen atom:

15
ESTERS, cont.• Esterification is the process of forming an ester linkage
between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
![Page 16: Chapter 15: Carboxylic Acids and Esters](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082211/56812bc6550346895d900e19/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

17
ESTERS, cont.• Because of the reversible nature of the esterification
reaction, carboxylic acid chlorides and carboxylic acid anhydrides are used instead of the carboxylic acid to obtain higher product (ester) yields.

NAMING ESTERS• The first word of the name of an ester is the name of the
alkyl or aromatic group (R') contributed by the alcohol.
• The second word is the carboxylic acid name, with the –ic acid ending changed to –ate.

strong base to produce a carboxylic acid salt

Esters of Inorganic Acids• Esters can be formed by reacting alcohols with inorganic
acids such as sulfuric, nitric, or phosphoric acids
![Page 29: Chapter 15: Carboxylic Acids and Esters](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082211/56812bc6550346895d900e19/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

INORGANIC ACID ESTERS, cont.• Because phosphoric acid has three –OH groups, it can
form mono-, di-, and triesters.
• Mono- and diesters are very important biologically.
![Page 30: Chapter 15: Carboxylic Acids and Esters](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022082211/56812bc6550346895d900e19/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

PHOSPHORIC ANHYDRIDES • Phosphate esters that have two or three phosphate groups
linked together:

• Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are two phosphoric anhydrides of great biological importance. In each case, the R group is adenosine.
