20.1 Naming Carboxylic Acids
• Carboxylic Acids, RCO2H
• If derived from open-chain alkanes, replace the terminal -e of the alkane name with -oic acid
• The carboxyl carbon atom is C1

Alternative Names
Compounds with CO2H bonded to a ring are named using the suffix -carboxylic acid
The CO2H carbon is not itself numbered in this system
Use common names for formic acid (HCOOH) and acetic acid (CH3COOH) – see Table 20.1

• Greek letters are used to designate the location of substituents in
common names.
• The carbon adjacent to the COOH is called the carbon, followed by
the carbon, followed by the carbon, the carbon and so forth down
the chain.
• The last carbon in the chain is sometimes called the carbon.
• The carbon in the common system is numbered C2 in the IUPAC
system.

• Compounds containing two carboxy groups are called
diacids. Diacids are named using the suffix –dioic acid.
• Metal salts of carboxylate anions are formed from carboxylic
acids in many reactions. To name the metal salt of a
carboxylate anion, put three parts together:

as a suffix to the alkane name, with the nitrile carbon numbered C1
Complex nitriles are named as derivatives of carboxylic acids.Replace -ic acid or -oic acid ending with -onitrile

20.2 Structure and Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
Carboxyl carbon sp2 hybridized: carboxylic acid groups are planar with C–C=O and O=C–O bond angles of approximately 120°
Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds, existing as cyclic dimers held together by two hydrogen bonds
Strong hydrogen bonding causes much higher boiling points than the corresponding alcohols

Carboxylic Acids and the Acidity of the O—H Bond
• Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxy group
(COOH).
• The structure of carboxylic acids is often abbreviated as
RCOOH or RCO2H, but keep in mind that the central carbon
atom of the functional group is doubly bonded to one oxygen
atom and singly bonded to another.
Structure and Bonding:
![Page 12: CHAPTER 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS - جامعة بابل | University ... 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS Based on McMurry’s Organic Chemistry, 6th edition Dr.Mohanad Al-Hachamii The Importance of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051321/5b0764e67f8b9ad1768e2141/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
• The C—O single bond of a carboxylic acid is shorter than the
C—O bond of an alcohol.
• This can be explained by looking at the hybridization of the
respective carbon atoms.
Structure and Bonding:
• Because oxygen is more electronegative than either carbon
or hydrogen, the C—O and O—H bonds are polar.
![Page 13: CHAPTER 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS - جامعة بابل | University ... 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS Based on McMurry’s Organic Chemistry, 6th edition Dr.Mohanad Al-Hachamii The Importance of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051321/5b0764e67f8b9ad1768e2141/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
• Carboxylic acids exhibit dipole-dipole interactions because
they have polar C—O and O—H bonds.
• They also exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
• Carboxylic acids often exist as dimers held together by two
intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Physical Properties:

• Carboxylic acids have very characteristic IR and NMR
absorptions.
• In the IR:
-The C=O group absorbs at ~ 1710 cm-1.
-The O—H absorption occurs from 2500-3500 cm-1.
• In the 1H NMR:
-The O—H proton absorbs between 10-12 ppm.
-The protons absorb between 2-2.5 ppm.
• In the 13C NMR, the C=O appears at 170-210 ppm.
Spectroscopic Properties:

20.3 Dissociation of Carboxylic Acids• Carboxylic acids are proton donors toward weak and
strong bases, producing metal carboxylate salts, RCO2 +M
• Carboxylic acids with more than six carbons are only slightly soluble in water, but their conjugate base salts are water-soluble
Dr.Mohanad Al-HachamiiBased on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter 20, 6th
edition, (c) 2003 16
![Page 17: CHAPTER 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS - جامعة بابل | University ... 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS Based on McMurry’s Organic Chemistry, 6th edition Dr.Mohanad Al-Hachamii The Importance of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051321/5b0764e67f8b9ad1768e2141/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Acidity Constant and pKa
• Carboxylic acids transfer a proton to water to give H3O+
and carboxylate anions, RCO2, but H3O+ is a much
stronger acid
• The acidity constant, Ka,, is about 10-5 for a typical carboxylic acid (pKa ~ 5)

edition, (c) 2003 17
![Page 18: CHAPTER 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS - جامعة بابل | University ... 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS Based on McMurry’s Organic Chemistry, 6th edition Dr.Mohanad Al-Hachamii The Importance of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051321/5b0764e67f8b9ad1768e2141/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Acidity Compared to Alcohols
• Carboxylic acids are better proton donors than are alcohols (The pKa of ethanol is ~16, compared to ~5 for acetic acid)
• In an alkoxide ion, the negative charge is localized on oxygen while in a carboxylate ion the negative charge is delocalized over two equivalent oxygen atoms, giving resonance stabilization

20.4 Substituent Effects on Acidity• Electronegative substituents promote formation of the
carboxylate ion

![Page 20: CHAPTER 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS - جامعة بابل | University ... 20 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS Based on McMurry’s Organic Chemistry, 6th edition Dr.Mohanad Al-Hachamii The Importance of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051321/5b0764e67f8b9ad1768e2141/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Substituent Effects
• An electronegative group will drive the ionization equilibrium toward dissociation, increasing acidity
• An electron-donating group destabilizes the carboxylate anion and decreases acidity

Examples of Inductive Effects on Acidity
• Fluoroacetic, chloroacetic, bromoacetic, and iodoacetic acids are stronger acids than acetic acid
• Multiple electronegative substituents have synergistic effects on acidity

Aromatic Substituent Effects• An electron-withdrawing group (-NO2) increases acidity by
stabilizing the carboxylate anion, and an electron-donating (activating) group (OCH3) decreases acidity by destabilizing the carboxylate anion
• We can use relative pKa’s as a calibration for effects on relative free energies of reactions with the same substituents

20.6 Preparation of Carboxylic Acids1- Oxidation of arenes
Oxidation of a substituted alkylbenzene with KMnO4 or Na2Cr2O7or H2Cr2O7 gives a substituted benzoic acid (see Section 16.10)
1° and 2° alkyl groups can be oxidized, but tertiary groups are not ( the alkylbenzene must contain at least one benzylic hydrogen atom. Therefore, tert-butylbenzene is not oxidized).

Hot acid or base yields carboxylic acids
Conversion of an alkyl halide to a nitrile (with cyanide ion) followed by hydrolysis produces a carboxylic acid with one more carbon (RBr RCN RCO2H)
Best with primary halides because elimination reactions occur with secondary or tertiary alkyl halides

Mechanism of Hydrolysis of Nitriles
Nucleophilic addition of hydroxide to CN bondProtonation gives a hydroxy
imine, which tautomerizes to an amideA second hydroxide adds to
the amide carbonyl group and loss of a proton gives a dianionExpulsion of NH2gives the
carboxylate

5- Carboxylation of Grignard Reagents
Grignard reagents react with dry CO2 to yield a metal carboxylate
Limited to alkyl halides that can form Grignard reagents (see 17.6)

Mechanism of Grignard Carboxylation
• The organomagnesium halide adds to C=O of carbon dioxide
• Protonation by addition of aqueous HCl in a separate step gives the free carboxylic acid

20.7 Reactions of Carboxylic Acids: An Overview
Carboxylic acids transfer a proton to a base to give anions, which are good nucleophiles in SN2 reactions
Like ketones, carboxylic acids undergo addition of nucleophiles to the carbonyl group
In addition, carboxylic acids undergo other reactions characteristic of neither alcohols nor ketones

20.8 Reduction of Carboxylic Acids
• Reduced by LiAlH4 to yield primary alcohols
• The reaction is difficult and often requires heating in tetrahydrofuran solvent to go to completion

Reduction with Borane
• Borane in tetrahydrofuran (BH3/THF) converts carboxylic acids to primary alcohols selectively
• Preferable to LiAlH4 because of its relative ease, safety, and specificity
• Borane reacts faster with COOH than it does with NO2
