Q
Reaction of Carboxcylics with bases
A
I.e
CH3COOH + NaOH –> CH3COONa + H2O
To find conc of acid titrate with a strong base
1
Q
Carboxylic Acids with water
A
Act as an acid. The H* dissociates
2
Q
Carboxcylics with carbonated, hydrogen carbonates and sodium
A
All form RCOONa
3
Q
Carboxylics with Alcohols
A
Produces an Ester.
Acid + Alcohol Ester + Water
H2SO4 added in step 2 and is regenerated
4
Q
Carboxcylics with LiAlH4
A
Environment must be Dry
LiAlH4 is source of H-
Water added after reaction to remove excess LiAlH4

PCl5 DRY
OR
SOCl2
6
