- Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives Carboxylic acids Found in
nature Carboxylic acid derivatives:
- Slide 3
- Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives I. Nomenclature Review II.
Physical Properties III. Acidity of Carboxylic Acids IV.
Spectroscopy V. Preparation of Carboxylic Acids VI. Reactions of
Carboxylic Acids VII. Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution
- Slide 4
- I. Nomenclature (Review) Carboxylic acids Parent chain contains
carbon of CO 2 H Suffix is -oic acid CO 2 H is carbon 1 Cyclic
molecules with CO 2 H substituents CO 2 H is bonded to carbon 1 of
ring Add carboxylic acid to end of ring parent name
- Slide 5
- Examples StructureName
- Slide 6
- Naming Acid Chlorides Name corresponding carboxylic acid Change
-ic acid to -yl chloride Examples: StructureName
- Slide 7
- Naming Acid Anhydrides If R = R, name carboxylic acid RCO 2 H.
Replace acid with anhydride If R R, list the two acids
alphabetically and add the word anhydride Examples:
StructureName
- Slide 8
- Naming Esters Name alkyl group bonded to oxygen (R) Name
carboxylic acid RCO 2 H Change -ic acid to -ate Examples:
StructureName
- Slide 9
- Naming Amides Name corresponding carboxylic acid Change -oic
acid to -amide Examples: StructureName
- Slide 10
- Naming Nitriles Two methods 1. Nitrile carbon is carbon 1 of
parent chain. Add -nitrile to end of alkane name. 2. Name as
carboxylic acid derivative. Replace -ic acid with -onitrile
- Slide 11
- II. Physical Properties Carboxylic acids form a hydrogen bond
dimer Boiling points Carboxylic acids are very high CA >
alcohols > aldehyde/ketones > hydrocarbons Carboxylic acid
derivatives are less predictable Generally amides > carboxylic
acids > acid halides/esters Tertiary amides < primary and
secondary amides no H-bonding in liquid phase (neat)
- Slide 12
- II. Physical Properties Solubility in water Low MW CAs and CADs
are soluble Solubility decrease as MW increases Salts of carboxylic
acids are more soluble CADs also react with water (to form
carboxylic acids) Odor Esters = sweet or floral Carboxylic acids =
unpleasant
- Slide 13
- III. Acidity of Carboxylic Acids Weak acids (pK a ~ 4-5)
Stronger than alcohols because conjugate base is
resonance-stabilized
- Slide 14
- III. Acidity of Carboxylic Acids Conjugate base can be further
stabilized if electronegative atom is present Inductive effect
Position of en atom affects pK a
- Slide 15
- III. Acidity of Carboxylic Acids Substituted benzoic acids If Z
= electron-donating group, acid is weaker If Z =
electron-withdrawing group, acid is stronger
- Slide 16
- IV. Spectroscopy of CAs: IR Absorption at 2500-3300 cm -1 for
COOH Absorption at 1710-1760 cm -1 for C=O
- Slide 17
- 13 C-NMR: 1 H-NMR: COOH signal 11-12 IV. Spectroscopy of CAs:
NMR
- Slide 18
- IV. Spectroscopy of CADs: IR Absorption at 1650-1820 cm -1 for
C=O
- Slide 19
- 13 C-NMR: Carbonyl carbon slightly upfield from aldehydes and
ketones 1 H-NMR: H adjacent to C=O around 2, but doesnt always help
you determine functional group Look for OH (CA), NH (amide), or OR
(ester) IV. Spectroscopy of CADs: NMR
- Slide 20
- V. Preparation of Carboxylic Acids 1. Oxidation of primary
alcohols and aldehydes (section 13.10)
- Slide 21
- V. Preparation of Carboxylic Acids 2. Oxidative cleavage of
alkenes or alkynes (section 10.9)
- Slide 22
- V. Preparation of Carboxylic Acids 3. Oxidation of
alkylbenzenes We will see this in the aromatic chapters
- Slide 23
- V. Preparation of Carboxylic Acids 4. Hydrolysis of nitriles
Requires aqueous acid and heat
- Slide 24
- V. Preparation of Carboxylic Acids 5. Carboxylation of Grignard
reagents Addition of CO 2, followed by H 3 O + Mechanism:
Example:
- Slide 25
- Show two methods that could be used to make butanoic acid from
1-bromopropane
- Slide 26
- VI. Reactions of Carboxylic Acids Types of reactions
Deprotonation -Substitution Oxidation? Reduction? Conversion to
CADs
- Slide 27
- Reduction Need a strong reducing agent LAH Reduce to primary
alcohol Remember reducing agent chart from alcohol chapter
- Slide 28
- Conversion to CADs 1. Fischer esterification Carboxylic acid +
alcohol ester + water Needs acid catalyst (H 2 SO 4 or HCl)
Reaction is reversible Push to the right with excess alcohol or
remove water
- Slide 29
- Conversion to CADs 2. Formation of acid chlorides Reagent =
SOCl 2 Where have we seen this reagent before?
- Slide 30
- Conversion to CADs 3. Formation of acid anhydrides Anhydride =
without water Apply heat to carboxylic acids to remove water
- Slide 31
- Conversion to CADs 4. Formation of amides Reaction is difficult
with N nucleophile because the N (base) reacts with the carboxylic
acid (acid)
- Slide 32
- VII. Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Include all of the CA CAD
reactions Also used to make CAs from CADs and convert between CADs
Z is leaving group Compare to nucleophilic addition
(aldehydes/ketones)
- Slide 33
- VII. Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Mechanism Acid or base
catalyst typically needed Acid makes electrophile more
electrophilic Base makes nucleophile more nucleophilic
- Slide 34
- VII. Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Reactivity: Less
substituted molecules are more reactive
- Slide 35
- VII. Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Reactivity: Molecules with
better leaving groups are more reactive Less reactive compounds
need heat or catalyst to react and are limited in the number of
reactions they will undergo Example: amides only undergo hydrolysis
and reduction
- Slide 36
- VII. Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Reactivity: More reactive
compounds can be converted to less reactive compounds Can an ester
be converted into an amide? Can an amide be converted into an
ester?
