Structure Of Carboxylic AcidsStructure Of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids are organic acids contain one or more carboxyl group, which is a combination of carbonyl group C=O and hydroxyl group O-HIt is often written in condensed form as –CO2H or –COOHCarboxylic acids are classified as aliphatic R-COOH or aromatic Ar-COOH depending on the group bonded to the carboxylic group.The simplest acid is formic acid R= HThe fatty acid is long chain aliphatic acids CH3-(CH2)16-COOH

Common NomenclatureCommon Nomenclature
The positions of the carbons present on the acid chain, are located by the Greek letters α indicating the carbon atom next to COOH group (C2), β (C3), etc.

IUPAC NomenclatureIUPAC Nomenclature
Find the longest continuous carbon chain contains the COOH group to get the root name of the parent hydrocarbon, then replace the ending -e by the suffix –oic acid. Number the chain starting with the carbon of COOH group as C-1 If there are substituents identify their names, positions and list them as prefixes in alphabetical order.
Examples: Examples: (CH(CH33))22CH - CH(CHCH - CH(CH33) - CH) - CH22 - CH - CH22 - COOH - COOH is called 4,5-Dimethylhexanoic acid

Cyclic compounds containing one or more COOH groups attached to the ring are named by identifying the name of the ring followed by the word carboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acids etc. The carbon atom bearing the carboxylic group is numbered 1 and the substituents are numbered relative to it.

Physical Properties OF Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic Acids And Their Derivatives
1) Boiling Points Carboxylic acids have exceptionally high boiling points than alcohols
of identical relative molecular masses, For example:: M.F. M.W bp / °C
Propanol C3H8O 60.01 97.2
Ethanoic acid C2H4O2 60.05 118
Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than alcohols and aldehydes, because their dimeric structures.

The derivatives of carboxylic acids are compounds in which the -OH of carboxylic acid is replaced by nucleopile (-X for acid halide, -OR for ester, -NH2, -NHR, -NR2 for amids, -OOCR for anhydride).
Carboxylic acids derivatives can converted to carboxylic acids by simple acidic or basic hydrolysis.
