CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES

The compounds containing the carboxyl functional group are called Carboxylic acids. The word carboxyl is a combination of two words carbonyl (>C=O) and hydroxyl (–OH).

CLASSIFICATION

Depending upon the number of –COOH groups they are  classified as
  • Monocarboxylic acids: containing one -COOH group
  • dicarboxylic acids: containing two -COOH groups and so on
  • Fatty acids: Aliphatic monocarboxylic acids are commonly called fatty acids because higher members are obtained by the hydrolysis of oils and fats.

NOMENCLATURE

There are three ways of naming carboxylic acids
Common System
The common names are derived from the source of acids.
Formula Common name Source
HCOOH Formic acid Red ant (formica)
CH3COOH Acetic acid Vinegar (acetium)
C3H7COOH Butyric acid Butter (butyrum)
The position of substituents are indicated by Greek letters , , etc. The carbon atom adjacent to carboxyl group is assigned the letter , the next and so on
-methyl propionic acid -methyl butyric acid

Derived System
Acids are regarded as alkyl derivatives of acetic acid eg.
 

IUPAC System
They are named as Alkanoic acids eg.
HCOOH Methanoic acid
C3H7COOH Butanoic acid
While naming the complex acids, the longest chain is picked up and the carbon atoms are numbered starting from carboxyl group which is given number 1.

ISOMERISM


POSITION AND CHAIN ISOMERISM
eg. C6H12O2 represent
2, 3 - dimethyl butanoic acid All the seven are chain Isomers
   3, 3 - dimethyl butanoic acid

  2, 2 - dimethyl butanoic acid

FUNCTIONAL ISOMERISM

GENERAL METHODS OF PREPARATION

  • Oxidation of 1º alcohols and aldehydes with acid K2Cr2O7 or KMnO4
  • Oxidation of methyl ketones (Haloform reaction) with X2/NaOH
  • Hydrolysis of cyanides : Hydrolysis may be affected by acid or alkali
  • Hydrolysis of an ester: with alkali or acid
Ease of hydrolysis
Alkaline hydrolysis of an ester is known as saponification
  • Hydrolysis of trihalogen derivative of alkanes
  • Carboxylation  of alkenes (Koch reaction)
  • Reaction of Grignard Reagents with CO2
  • By heating sodium alkoxide with CO
  • From Sodium alkyl and CO2
  • Catalytic oxidation of long chain hydrocarbons
  • From alkynes
  • By heating dicarboxylic acids eg oxalic acid or malonic acid
  • By acidic hydrolysis of Malonic or aceto acetic ester

MANUFACTURE OF METHANOIC ACID

MANUFACTURE OF ACETIC ACID
  • By air oxidation of Acetaldehyde
  • By air oxidation of Butane
-
  • Quick vinegar process
The production is limited to the production of vinegar only which is 5 to 7% acetic acid

Glacial acetic acid
Pure acetic acid when cooled forms ice like solid (glacier) hence it is called glacial acetic acid.

GENERAL PROPERTIES

Acids upto C10 are liquids with unpleasant odours. The higher members are colourless waxy solids. Boiling points of acids increase regularly with molecular weight and higher than alcohols (of comparable molecular mass) due to formation of dimer through H-bonding

SOLUBILITY

Acids upto C4 are completely soluble in water due to H-bonding. Solubility regularly decreases rapidly due to increase in hydrophobic character of alkyl group.

MELTING POINTS

The melting point of even number acid is always higher than the next lower and higher odd number acid (alternation effect or oscillation effect) due to effective crystal lattice being symmetrical in nature*

ACIDITY OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS

The carboxylic acids on ionisation produce carboxylate ion  which is stabilised by resonance
Electrons releasing alkyl groups decrease the acidity. Hence lower members are more acidic than higher members eg
As the size of alkyl group increases the ionic character of O-H bond decreases
Electrons withdrawing substituents increase the acidity by increasing the ionic character of – O – H bond by inductive effect and dispersing the negative charge of anion formed

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

REDUCING CHARACTER OF FORMIC ACID

ACTION OF HEAT ON FORMATES

          COONa
       Sod. oxalate
Calcium formate

ACID DERIVATIVES

The compounds obtained by replacing –OH group of in acid by –X, –OCOR, –OR or –NH2 are called acid derivatives. They are
                 
Acid halide (X = Cl, Br, I)

Acid anhydride


Ester

Acid amide        

The order of reactivity for nucleophilic substitution reactions (known as acyl substitution reactions) is as follows
The factors affecting the above order are (i) Inductive effect (ii) Resonance and (iii) Nature of leaving group. The more the basic character of the leaving group, the lesser is the reactivity and basic character follows the order

ACID CHLORIDES

IUPAC name Alkanoyl Chloride

Hydrolysis of carboxylic esters may be formulated in two ways
and  Base or acid catalysed bimolecular involving acyl-oxygen heterolysis are very common
Acid catalysed unimolecular involving alkyl-oxygen heterolysis is very common for t-alcohols
occurs in solvent having high ionizing power and alcohol forms stable carbonium ion.

-Amino acids

-Amino acids

-Hydroxy acids

-hydroxy acids

and -hydroxy acids

SATURATED DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS

The compounds containing two carboxyl groups are known as dicarboxylic acids. They have the general formula CnH2n (COOH)2

NOMENCLATURE
Their IUPAC group name is Alkanedioic acid

GENERAL PROPERTIES
  • All are colourless crystalline solids, soluble in water. Solubility with increase in molecular weight, the odd acids are more soluble than even due to lower symmetry and poor packing.
  • Their melting points follow the Oscillation or alternation rule which states that the melting point of an “even” acid is higher than that of the “odd” acid immediately below and above it in the series. It is also known as “saw-tooth” rule.
  • Acid Strength: The strength of acids decreases from lower to higher member of the series as shown by the pka values
Acid Oxalic acid Malonic acid Succinic acid Glutaricacid Adipic acid
pka 1.271 2.86 4.21 4.34 4.41
This is due to –I effect of the carboxylic group which decreases with the length of the carbon atom chain.
  • Action of heat

Blanc’s rule: On heating the acid with acetic anhydride and then distilling the product at 300ºC, 1, 4 and 1, 5 - dicarboxylic acid give cyclic anhydrides and 1, 6 and 1, 7-dicarboxylic acid give cyclic ketones provided the acids are unsubstituted. If no change the acid is 1, 8 or more.
The rule helps to determine the size of rings.
Note A -keto acid is easily decarboxylated by heating
