Organic Chemistry Carboxylic Acids Flashcards
Neutralisation with alkali
Example Using CH3COOH
CH3COOH+NaOH= CH3COO-Na+. + H2O
Neutralisation using carbonates
Example using CH3COOH
2CH3COOH+Na2CO3= 2CH3COO-Na+. +H2O+CO2
Neutralisation with metal oxides
Example using CH3COOH
2CH3COOH+CaO= (CH3COO-)2Ca2+ + H2O
Redox reaction with metals
Example usingCH3COOH
2CH3COOH+Mg= (CH3COO-)2Mg2+ + H2
Formation of acyl chlorides
Carboxylic acid+SOCl2= acyl chloride+SO2+HCl
Hydrolysis of acyl chlorides
Acyl chloride+H2O= carboxylic acid+ HCl
Formation of acid anhydrides
2x carboxylic acid= acid anhydride+ H2O
Hydrolysis of acid anhydrides
Acid anhydride+H2O= 2xcarboxylic acid
Acyl chloride + water
Carboxylic acid
Acyl chloride and alcohol
Ester+ HCl
Acyl chloride + ammonia
Amide +HCL
Acyl chloride + amine
Amide +HCl
