SECTION 21.2 • Compounds containing a carboxylic acid group are named with the suffix “oic acid.” • Compounds containing two carboxylic acid groups are named with the suffix “dioic acid.” • Many simple carboxylic acids and diacids have common names accepted by IUPAC. SECTION 21.3 • Carboxylic acids can form two hydrogen-bonding interactions. • Treatment of a carboxylic acid with a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, yields a carboxylate salt. • Carboxylate ions are named by replacing the suffix “ic acid” with “ate.” • The pKa of most carboxylic acids is between 4 and 5. • The acidity of carboxylic acids is due to the stability of the conjugate base, which is resonance stabilized. • Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, it can be shown that carboxylic acids exist primarily as carboxylate salts at physiological pH. • Electron-withdrawing substituents can increase the acidity of a carboxylic acid; the strength of this effect depends on the distance between the electron-withdrawing substituent and the carboxylic acid group. SECTION 21.4 • When treated with aqueous acid, a nitrile will undergo hydrolysis, yielding a carboxylic acid. • Carboxylic acids can also be prepared by treating a Grignard reagent with carbon dioxide. SECTION 21.5 • Carboxylic acids are reduced to alcohols upon treatment with lithium aluminum hydride or borane. 1036 CHAPTER 21 Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives SECTION 21.6 • Carboxylic acid derivatives exhibit the same oxidation state as carboxylic acids. • Acid halides are named by replacing the suffix “ic acid” with “yl halide.” • Acid anhydrides are named by replacing the suffix “ic acid” with “anhydride.” • Esters are named by first indicating the alkyl group attached to the oxygen atom, followed by the carboxylic acid, for which the suffix “ic acid” is replaced with “ate.” • Amides are named by replacing the suffix “ic acid” or “oic acid” with “amide.” • Nitriles are named by replacing the suffix “ic acid” with “nitrile.” SECTION 21.7 • Carboxylic acid derivatives differ in reactivity, with acid halides being the most reactive and amides the least reactive. • The C!N bond of an amide has double-bond character and exhibits a relatively high barrier to rotation. • When a nucleophile attacks a carboxylic acid derivative, a nucleophilic acyl substitution can occur in which the nucleophile replaces the leaving group. The mechanism of this reaction involves two core steps and often utilizes several proton transfer steps as well (especially in acidic conditions). • When drawing a mechanism, avoid formation of a strong base in acidic conditions and avoid formation of a strong acid in basic conditions. • When a nucleophile attacks a carbonyl group to form a tet- rahedral intermediate, always re-form the carbonyl group if possible but avoid expelling H- or C-. SECTION 21.8 • Acid chlorides can be formed by treating carboxylic acids with thionyl chloride. • When treated with water, acid chlorides are hydrolyzed to give carboxylic acids. • When treated with an alcohol, acid chlorides are converted into esters. • When treated with ammonia, acid chlorides are converted into amides. Two equivalents of ammonia are required: one to serve as a nucleophile and the other to serve as a base. • When treated with excess LAH, acid chlorides are reduced to give alcohols because two equivalents of hydride attack. Selective hydride-reducing agents, such as lithium tri(t-butoxy) aluminum hydride, can be used to prepare the aldehyde. • When treated with a Grignard reagent, acid chlorides are con- verted into alcohols with the introduction of two alkyl groups. Two equivalents of Grignard reagent attack. Preparing a ketone requires the use of a more selective organometal- lic reagent, such as a lithium dialkyl cuprate, also called a Gilman reagent. SECTION 21.9 • Acetic acid can be converted into acetic anhydride with excessive heating. • Acid anhydrides can be prepared by treating an acid chloride with a carboxylate ion. • The reactions of anhydrides are the same as the reactions of acid chlorides except for the identity of the leaving group. SECTION 21.10 • When treated with a strong base followed by an alkyl halide, carboxylic acids are converted into esters. • In a process called the Fischer esterification, carboxylic acids are converted into esters when treated with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This process is reversible. • Esters can also be prepared by treating an acid chloride with an alcohol in the presence of pyridine. SECTION 21.11 • Esters can be hydrolyzed to yield carboxylic acids upon treat- ment with either aqueous base or aqueous acid. Hydrolysis under basic conditions is also called saponification. • When treated with lithium aluminum hydride, esters are reduced to yield alcohols. If the desired product is an alde- hyde, then DIBAH is used as a reducing agent instead of LAH. • When treated with a Grignard reagent, esters are reduced to yield alcohols, with the introduction of two alkyl groups. SECTION 21.12 • Amides can be efficiently prepared from acid chlorides. • Amides are hydrolyzed to yield carboxylic acids by treatment with either aqueous base or aqueous acid. • When treated with excess LAH, amides are converted into amines. SECTION 21.13 • Nitriles can be prepared by treating an alkyl halide with a cyanide ion or via the dehydration of an amide. • Nitriles can be hydrolyzed to yield carboxylic acids by treat- ment with either aqueous base or aqueous acid. • A ketone is obtained when a nitrile is treated with a Grignard reagent, followed by aqueous acid. • Nitriles are converted to amines when treated with LAH. SECTION 21.14 • Carboxylic acids, their derivatives, aldehydes, alcohols, and amines can be readily interconverted using reactions covered in this chapter. • When forming a C!C bond, always consider where you want the functional group to be located, as that will dictate which C!C bond-forming reaction to choose. SECTION 21.15 • In IR spectroscopy, the precise location of a carbonyl stretch- ing signal, which appearsbetween 1650 and 1850 cm-1, can be used to determine the type of carbonyl group in an unknown compound. • Conjugated carbonyl groups produce signals at lower frequencies. • In a 13C NMR spectrum, the carbonyl group of a carboxylic acid derivative will generally appear in the region between 160 and 185 ppm, and the carbon atom of a nitrile produces a signal between 115 and 130 ppm. • In a 1H NMR spectrum, the proton of a carboxylic acid produces a signal at approximately 12 ppm.

(a) Explain why the first proton is more acidic than acetic acid (pKa = 4.76). (b) Explain why the second proton is less acidic than acetic acid. (c) Draw the form of malonic acid that is expected to predominate at physiological pH. (d) For succinic acid (HO2CCH2CH2CO2H), pK1 = 4.2 (which is higher than pK1 for malonic acid) and pK2 = 5.6 (which is lower than pK2 for malonic acid). In other words, the difference between pK1 and pK2 is not as large for succinic acid as it is for malonic acid.
