IUPAC Names of Carboxylic Acids
IUPAC Names of Carboxylic Acids
The name of the carboxylic acid of benzene, is benzoic acid. The carbon in the carbonyl group is bonded to . carbon 1 in the benzene ring. The ring is numbered to give the lowest possible numbers for any substituents. The prefixes ortho, meta, and para may be used to show the position of one other substituent.
IUPAC Names of Carboxylic Acids
The prefixes ortho, meta, and para may be used to show the position of one other substituent. Insert diagram of benzoic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid and 3,4-dichlorobenzoic acid bottom pg 571 with labels.
Common Names of Carboxylic AcidsMany carboxylic acids are still named by their
common names that include prefixes, form, acet, propion, butyr.
When using the common names, the Greek letters alpha (), beta (), and gamma () are assigned to the carbons adjacent to the carboxyl carbon.
Formic Acid
A red ant sting contains formic acid that irritates the skin.

Guide to Naming Carboxylic Acids
IUPAC Names for Carboxylic Acids
Give the IUPAC and common name for each carboxylic acid.
IUPAC Names for Carboxylic Acids
Step 1 Identify the longest carbon chain and add “anoic acid” to the end of the base name (for the straight chain acids).
butanoic acid benzoic acid

Step 2 Give the location and name of each substituent by counting the carboxyl carbon as 1.
a. 2-methylbutanoic acid b. 3-chlorobenzoic acid
2-methylbutyric acid meta-chlorobenzoic acid

Preparation of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids are prepared by oxidizing primary alcohols or aldehydes.from the oxidation of ethanol, which
produces ethanoic acid (acetic acid).

EstersEsters differ from carboxylic acids by the replacement of
H in the hydroxyl group with an alkyl group.are fragrant components of many fruits, such as
bananas, oranges, and strawberries.Yummy!
Esterification is the reaction of a carboxylic acid and alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce an ester.
Insert esterification reaction pg 580
Esterification
Acetylsalicylic AcidAspirinis used to relieve pain
and reduce inflammation.
is an ester of salicylic acid
and acetic acid.is derived from the
bark of a willow tree.
Acetylsalicylic AcidIn 1899, Bayer chemical company in Germany produced an ester of salicylic acid and acetic acid, called acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) that was less irritating to the stomach than salicylic acid.
Methyl SalicylateOil of wintergreenis used to soothe sore muscles.has a pungent, minty odor.is an ester of salicylic acid and
methanol.
Esters in PlantsEsters give flowersand fruits their pleasant fragrances and flavors.
Naming Esters
The name of an ester contains the names ofthe alkyl group from the alcohol, andthe carbon chain from the acid with -ate
ending.
Example..
Give the IUPAC and common name of the following ester, responsible for the flavor and odor of pears. A hint is on the next slide…
Example..
Name the group on the oxygen first.
Example..
Name the group on the oxygen first: it is propyl.Now count the number of carbons including the carbonyl carbon that are in the other side of the ester:
O
O
Example..
there are two carbons in the “acid” side of the ester, so the base name uses 2…So this is propyl ethanoate.

Now you want to focus on the base name which comes from the carbonyl side of the compound…
How many carbons are on this side?
O

Learning Check
How many carbons are on this side? 4So our base name is:
O

Learning Check
How many carbons are on this side? 4So our base name is: butanoate(that’s but for the 4 carbons and anoate
because it is an ester).
O

Now we look at the number of carbons in the “acid” side : 3
Since there are three, our base name is…Propanoate. Try to put the whole name together,
then check your answer on the next slide.

Draw the condensed structural formula of the following ester. Take it one step at a time…
What is the group on the oxygen?
A. Ethyl pentanoate

What is the group on the oxygen? The ethyl group is on the oxygen.
How many carbons are in the base structure?
A. Ethyl pentanoate
Learning Check
How many carbons are in the base structure?5 there are 5 carbons since the
base name is pent…Now draw in your ester. I usually start by
drawing the carbonyl with an oxygen attached…then add carbons where needed…
