Acidity of Carboxylic AcidsAcidity of Carboxylic AcidsMost unsubstituted carboxylic acids have Ka values in the range of lit 10-4 - 10-5 (pKa 4-5).
These relative acidities mean that carboxylic acids react readily with aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate to form soluble sodium salts.
Carboxylic acids having electron-withdrawing groups are stronger than unsuhslituled acids. The chloroacetic acids, show the following order of acidities:

The acid-strengthening effect of electron- withdrawing groups arises from a combination of inductive effects and entropy effects.
The acid-strengthening effect decreases as distance between the electron-withdrawing group and the carboxyl group increases.

EstersEsters
The names of esters are derived from the names of the alcohol (with the ending -yl) and the acid (with the ending -ate or -oate). The portion of the name derived from the alcohol comes first.

Esters are polar compounds, but, lacking a hydrogen attached to oxygen, their molecules cannot form hydrogen bonds to each other. As a result, esters have boiling points that are lower than those of acids and alcohols of comparable molecular weight.

Carboxylic AnhydridesCarboxylic Anhydrides Nomenclature of Carboxylic Anhydrides
● Rules Most anhydrides are named by dropping the
word acid from the name of the carboxylic acid and then adding the word “anhydride”

O
OEthanoic anhydride(acetic anhydride)
Acyl Chlorides
Acyl chlorides are also called acid chlorides. They are named by dropping -ic acid from the name of the acid and then adding -yl chloride.
Acyl chlorides and carboxylic anhydrides have boiling points in the same range as esters of comparable molecular weight.
Cl
O
Benzoyl chloride
AmidesAmides that have no substituent on nitrogen are named by dropping -ic acid from the common name of the acid (or -oic acid from the substitutive name) and then adding -amide. Alkyl groups on the nitrogen atom of amides are named as substituents, and the named substituent is prefaced by N- or N, N-.
O

NitrilesCarboxylic acids can he converted to nitriles and vice versa. In IUPAC substitutive nomenclature, acyclic nitriles are named by adding the suffix -nitrile to the name of the corresponding hydrocarbon. The carbon atom of the -CN group is assigned number 1.

Nucleophilic Addition-Elimination at the Acyl Carbon A characteristic reaction of aldehydes and ketones is one
of nucleophilic addition to the carbon-oxygen double bond. Carboxylic acids and their derivatives are characterized by a nueleophilic addition-elimination mechanism that takes place at their acyl (carbonyl) carbon atoms.
It is after the initial nucleophilic attack has taken place that the two reactions differ. The tetrahedral intermediate formed from an aldehyde or ketone usually accepts a proton to form a stable addition product.
In contrast, the intermediate formed from an acyl compound usually eliminates a leaving group; this elimination leads to regeneration of the carbon-oxygen double bond and to a substitution product. The overall process in the case of acyl substitution occurs, therefore, by a nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism.

A good leaving group
Not a good leaving group
Acyl compounds react as they do because they all have good, or reasonably good, leaving groups (or they can be protonated to have good leaving groups) attached to the carbonyl carbon atom. An acyl chloride, for example, generally reacts by losing a chloride ion- a very weak base and thus a very good leaving group.
Relative Reactivity of Acyl Compounds
The general order of reactivity of acid derivatives can be explained by taking into account the basicity of the leaving groups. When acyl chlorides react, the leaving group is a chloride ion, and when amides react, the leaving group is an amine (or ammonia). The chloride ions are the weakest bases and acyl chlorides are the must reactive acyl compounds. Amines (or ammonia) are the strongest bases and amides are the least reactive acyl compounds.

Reactions of Carboxylic Acid AnhydridesBecause carboxylic acid anhydrides are highly reactive they can be used to prepare esters and amides.
EstersSynthesis of Esters: EsterificationCarboxylic acids react with alcohols to form esters through a condensation reaction known as esterification:
Mechanism
Acid-Catalyzed Ester Hydrolysis
Esters from Acyl Chlorides
Esters from Carboxylic Acid Anhydrides
Cyclic anhydrides react with one molar equivalent of an alcohol to form compounds that are both esters and acids.
Base-Promoted Hydrolysis of Esters: Saponification
Lactones
Carboxylic acids whose molecules have a hydroxyl group on a or carbon undergo an intramolecular esterification to give cyclic esters known as or -lactones. The reaction is acid catalyzed:

-Halo Acids-Halo AcidsThe Hell-volhard-Zeliniski The Hell-volhard-Zeliniski reactionreactionAliphatic carboxylic acids react with bromine or chlorine in the presence of
phosphorus (or a phosphorus halide) to give -halo acids through a reaction known as the Hell-Volhard-Zelinski (or HVZ) reaction.
-Halo acids are important synthetic intermediates because they are capable of reacting with a variety of nucleophiles;
Decarboxylation of Carboxylic Acids
The reaction whereby a carboxylic acid loses CO2 is called a decarboxylation.
Acids whose molecules have a carbonyl group one carbon removed from the carboxylic acid group, called -keto acids, decarboxylate readily when they are heated to 100-150°C. (Some -keto acids even decarboxylate slowly at room temperature.)
1. When the carboxylate anion decarboxylates, it forms a resonance-stabilized enolate anion:

2. When the acid itself decarboxylates, it can do so through a six-membered cyclic transition state:
This reaction produces an enol directly and, the enol then tautomerizes to a methyl ketone.
