Step-Growth Polymers
• Reaction between two different monomers
A-A + B-B [-A-A-B-B-A-A-B-B-]n

Carboxylic Acids
• Contain a carboxyl group -COOH
• Polar molecules, Exhibit H bonding
• Smaller acids are water soluble
• Fairly high BP
• Much more acidic than alcohols– The two Oxygens make the H easily ionizable
• Low pH

Ester Synthesis
• Esters are prepared by reacting an alcohol and a carboxylic acid with an acid catalyst
RCOOH + R’OH RCOOR’ + H2O
• The OH from the acid and the H from the alcohol form the water
• Don’t need to worry about the mechanism

Reaction Consideration
• Product purification
– The ester is a liquid and must be removed
– The will be react and water in the flask too
– Separate by distillation
• By BP
