Carboxyl DerivativesIn this chapter, we study three classes of compounds derived from carboxylic acids; anhydrides, esters, and amides.– Each is related to a carboxyl group by loss of H2O.

EstersThe functional group of an esterester is a carbonyl group bonded to an -OR group. R may be alkyl or aryl.– Both IUPAC and common names of esters are
derived from the names of the parent carboxylic acids.
– Name the alkyl or aryl group bonded to oxygen first, followed by the name of the acid; replace the suffix -icic acidacid by -ateate.
– A cyclic ester is called a lactonelactone.

Reaction with Amines• Esters react with ammonia and with

AmidesThe functional group of an amideamide is a
carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom.– To name an amide, drop the suffix -oic acidoic acid
from the IUPAC name of the parent acid, or -ic acidic acid from its common name, and add -amideamide.
– If the amide nitrogen is also bonded to an alkyl or aryl group, name the group and show its location on nitrogen by N- ; two alkyl or aryl groups by N,N-di-.CH3CNH2

Preparation of Amides• In principle, we can form an amide by
treating a carboxylic acid with an amine and removing -OH from the acid and an -H from the amine.– In practice what occurs if the two are
mixed is an acid-base reaction to form an ammonium salt.
– If this salt is heated to a high enough temperature, water is eliminated and an amide forms.

• It is much more common, however, to prepare amides by treating an anhydride with an amine.

Anhydrides
The functional group of an anhydrideanhydride is two carbonyl groups bonded to the same oxygen.– The anhydride may be symmetrical (from
two identical acyl groups), or mixed (from two different acyl groups).
– To name an anhydride, drop the word "acidacid" from the name of the carboxylic acid from which the anhydride is derived and add the word "anhydrideanhydride”.

Reaction with Alcohols
Anhydrides react with alcohols and phenols to give an ester and a carboxylic acid.
Aspirin is prepared by the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride.
