Structure of Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives
A carboxylic acid is an organic compound whosefunctional group is the carboxyl group. A carboxylgroup is a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydroxylgroup (—OH) bonded to the carbonyl carbonatom. A general structural representation for acarboxyl group is
Or -COOH and -CO2H

Structure of Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives
Although we see within a carboxyl group both acarbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (—OH), the carboxyl group does not showcharacteristic behavior of either an alcohol or acarbonyl compound (aldehyde or ketone). Rather,it is a unique functional group with a set ofcharacteristics different from those of itscomponent parts.

Structure of Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives
Cyclic carboxylic acids do not exist; havingthe carboxyl carbon atom as part of a ringsystem creates a situation where thecarboxyl carbon atom would have fivebonds. The nonexistence of cycliccarboxylic acids parallels the nonexistenceof cyclic aldehydes.

Structure of Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives
A carboxylic acid derivative is an organiccompound that can be synthesized from orconverted into a carboxylic acid. Four importantfamilies of carboxylic acid derivatives are esters,acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, and amides. Thegroup attached to the carbonyl carbon atomdistinguishes these derivative types from eachother and also from carboxylic acids.

IUPAC Nomenclature for Carboxylic Acids
Dicarboxylic AcidsA dicarboxylic acid is a carboxylic acid that contains twocarboxyl groups, one at each end of a carbon chain.Saturated acids of this type are named by appending thesuffix -dioic acid to the corresponding alkane name (the -eis retained to facilitate pronunciation). Both carboxylcarbon atoms must be part of the parent carbon chain,and the carboxyl locations need not be specified withnumbers because they will always be at the two ends ofthe chain.

24
Common Names for Carboxylic Acids
Because of their abundance in nature,carboxylic acids were among the earliestclasses of organic compounds to be studied,and they acquired names before the advent ofthe IUPAC naming system. These commonnames are usually derived from some Latin orGreek word that is related to a source for theacid.
![Page 25: Chapter 6 Carboxylic acids Ssters and other derivatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050900/58f13fd71a28ab151f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Common Names for Carboxylic Acids
Monocarboxylic AcidsThe common name of a monocarboxylicacid is formed by taking the Latin or Greekroot name for the specific number ofcarbon atoms and appending the suffix –icacid. The stinging sensation associatedwith red ant bites is due in part to formicacid (Latin, formica, “ant”).

29
Common Names for Carboxylic Acids
Vinegar is a 4%–8% (v/v) acetic acidsolution; its characteristic odor comesfrom the acetic acid present. Pureacetic acid is often called glacial aceticacid because it freezes on amoderately cold day (f.p. = 17C),producing icy-looking crystals.

30
Common Names for Carboxylic Acids
When using common names for carboxylicacids, the positions (locations) of substituentsare denoted by using letters of the Greekalphabet rather than numbers. The first fourletters of the Greek alphabet are alpha ( α ),beta ( β ), gamma (γ ), and delta ( Δ ). The alpha-carbon atom is carbon 2, the beta-carbon atomis carbon 3, and so on.

45
Polyfunctional Carboxylic Acids
Both malic acid and tartaric acid occurnaturally in fruits. The sharp taste of apples(fruit of trees of the genus Malus) is due tomalic acid. Tartaric acid is particularlyabundant in grapes. It is also a component oftartar sauce and an acidic ingredient in manybaking powders. Lactic and malic acids arealso metabolic acids.

Polyfunctional Carboxylic Acids
Citric acid, perhaps the best known of allcarboxylic acids, is a hydroxy acid with astructural feature we have not previouslyencountered. It is a hydroxy tricarboxylic acid.Besides there being acid groups at both ends ofa carbon chain, a third acid group is present asa substituent on the chain. An acid group as asubstituent is called a carboxy group. Thuscitric acid is a hydroxycarboxy diacid.

47
Polyfunctional Carboxylic Acids
Citric acid, Citric acid gives citrus fruits their“sharp” taste; lemon juice contains 4%–8%citric acid, and orange juice is about 1%citric acid. Citric acid is used widely inbeverages and in foods. In jams, jellies, andpreserves, it produces tartness and pHadjustment to optimize conditions forgelation.

Metabolic Carboxylic Acids
Numerous polyfunctional acids are intermediates in themetabolic reactions that occur in the human body asfood is processed. These three simple acids and themetabolic acids related to them are1. Propionic acid (3-carbon monoacid): lactic, glyceric,
and pyruvic acids2. Succinic acid (4-carbon diacid): fumaric, oxaloacetic,
and malic acids3. Glutaric acid (5-carbon diacid): -ketoglutaric and
citric acids

Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids are the most polar organiccompounds. Both the carbonyl part (C=O)and the hydroxyl part (—OH) of the carboxylfunctional group are polar. The result is veryhigh melting and boiling points for carboxylicacids, the highest of any type of organiccompound yet considered.
![Page 58: Chapter 6 Carboxylic acids Ssters and other derivatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050900/58f13fd71a28ab151f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
Unsubstituted saturated monocarboxylicacids containing up to nine carbon atoms areliquids that have strong, sharp odors. Acidswith 10 or more carbon atoms in anunbranched chain are waxy solids that areodorless (because of low volatility). Aromaticcarboxylic acids, as well as dicarboxylic acids,are also odorless solids.

Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
The high boiling points of carboxylic acidsindicate the presence of strongintermolecular attractive forces. A uniquehydrogen-bonding arrangement contributesto these attractive forces. A given carboxylicacid molecule forms two hydrogen bonds toanother carboxylic acid molecule, producinga “complex” known as a dimer.

Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
Because dimers have twice the mass of asingle molecule, a higher temperature isneeded to boil a carboxylic acid thanwould be needed for similarly sizedaldehyde and alcohol molecules wheredimerization does not occur.

Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids readily hydrogen-bond to watermolecules. Such hydrogen bonding contributes towater solubility for short-chain carboxylic acids.The unsubstituted C1 to C4 monocarboxylic acidsare completely miscible with water. Solubility thenrapidly decreases with carbon number. Short-chain dicarboxylic acids are also water-soluble. Ingeneral, aromatic acids are not waters soluble.

Acidity of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids, as the name implies, areacidic. When a carboxylic acid is placed inwater, hydrogen ion transfer (proton transfer)occurs to produce hydronium ion (the acidicspecies in water) and carboxylate ion.
![Page 67: Chapter 6 Carboxylic acids Ssters and other derivatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050900/58f13fd71a28ab151f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
67
Acidity of Carboxylic Acids
A carboxylate ion is the negative ion producedwhen a carboxylic acid loses one or more acidichydrogen atoms.Carboxylate ions formed from monocarboxylic acidsalways carry a 1 charge; only one acidic hydrogenatom is present in such molecules. Dicarboxylicacids, which possess two acidic hydrogen atoms(one in each carboxyl group), can producecarboxylate ions bearing a 2 charge.

Preparation of Esters
Esters are produced through esterifi cation. Anesterification reaction is the reaction of a carboxylicacid with an alcohol (or phenol) to produce an ester.A strong acid catalyst (generally H2SO4) is neededfor esterification.
![Page 85: Chapter 6 Carboxylic acids Ssters and other derivatives](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050900/58f13fd71a28ab151f8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
85
Preparation of Esters
In the esterification process, a —OH group is lostfrom the carboxylic acid, a —H atom is lost from thealcohol, and water is formed as a by-product. Thenet effect of this reaction is substitution of the —ORgroup of the alcohol for the —OH group of the acid.

Nomenclature for Esters
Visualizing esters as having an “alcohol part” andan “acid part” is the key to naming them in boththe common and the IUPAC systems ofnomenclature. The rules are as follows:Rule 1: The name for the alcohol part of theester appears fi rst and is followed by a separateword giving the name for the acid part of theester.

Physical Properties Esters
Ester molecules cannot form hydrogen bondsto each other because they do not have ahydrogen atom bonded to an oxygen atom.Consequently, the boiling points of esters aremuch lower than those of alcohols andcarboxylic acids of comparable molecular mass.Esters are more like ethers in their physicalproperties.

Physical Properties Esters
Water molecules can hydrogen-bond to estersthrough the oxygen atoms present in the esterfunctional group. Because of such hydrogenbonding, low-molecular-mass esters are soluble inwater. Solubility rapidly decreases with increasingcarbon chain length; borderline solubility situationsare reached when three to five carbon atoms are ina chain. Low- and intermediate-molecular-massesters are usually colorless liquids at roomtemperature. Most have pleasant odors.

Polyesters
A condensation polymer is a polymer formed byreacting difunctional monomers to give a polymerand some small molecule (such as water) as a by-product of the process. Polyesters are an importanttype of condensation polymer. A polyester is acondensation polymer in which the monomers arejoined through ester linkages. Dicarboxylic acids anddialcohols are the monomers generally used informing polyesters.

Polyesters
About 50% of PET production goes into textile products,including clothing fibers, curtain and upholstery materials,and tire cord. The trade name for PET as a clothing fiber isDacron. The other 50% of PET production goes intoplastics applications. As a film-like material, it is calledMylar. Mylar products include the plastic backing foraudio and video tapes and computer diskettes. Itschemical name PET is applied when this polyester is usedin clear, flexible soft-drink bottles and as the wrappingmaterial for frozen foods and boil-in-bag foods.

Esters and Anhydrides of Inorganic Acids
Phosphoric Acid AnhydridesThree biologically important phosphoricacids exist: phosphoric acid, diphosphoricacid, and triphosphoric acid. Phosphoricacid, the simplest of the three acids,undergoes intermolecular dehydration toproduce diphosphoric acid.

Esters and Anhydrides of Inorganic Acids
In the same manner that carboxylic acids are acidic,phosphoric acid, diphosphoric acid, andtriphosphoric acid are also acidic. The phosphoricacids are, however, polyprotic rather thanmonoprotic acids. The hydrogen atom in each of the—OH groups possesses acidic properties. All threephosphoric acids undergo esterification reactionswith alcohols, producing species such as

Esters and Anhydrides of Inorganic Acids
Phosphoric acid anhydride systems playimportant roles in cellular processes throughwhich biochemical energy is produced. Thepresence of phosphoric anhydride systems inbiological settings contrasts markedly withcarboxylic acid anhydride systems, which arenot found in biological settings because oftheir reactivity with water.
