Introduction The functional group of carboxylic acids consists of a C=O with -OH bonded to the same carbon. Carboxyl group is usually written -COOH. Aliphatic acids have an alkyl group bonded to -COOH. Aromatic acids have an aryl group. Fatty acids are long-chain aliphatic acids. > Chapter 20
Chapter 20 2 Introduction • The functional group of carboxylic acids consists of a C=O with -OH bonded to the same carbon. • Carboxyl group is usually written -COOH. • Aliphatic acids have an alkyl group bonded to -COOH. • Aromatic acids have an aryl group. • Fatty acids are long-chain aliphatic acids. =>
Common Names Many aliphatic acids have historical names. Positions of substituents on the chain are labeled with Greek letters. -C-C-C-C一C-C OH 8 Ph CI O CH:CH2CH2CHCH2COOH CH3CH2CHC-OH β-phenylcaproic acid a-chlorobutyric acid Chapter 20 3 =>

Naming Cyclic Acids Cycloalkanes bonded to -COOH are named as cycloalkanecarboxylic acids. Aromatic acids are named as benzoic acids. COOH COOH CH(CH3)2 OH 2-isopropylcyclopentanecarboxylic acid -hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid) => Chapter 20 5

Dicarboxylic Acids Aliphatic diacids are usually called by their common names (to be memorized). For IUPAC name,number the chain from the end closest to a substituent. Two carboxyl groups on a benzene ring indicate a phthalic acid. Br HOOCCH2CHCH2CH2COOH 3-bromohexanedioic acid B-bromoadipic acid Chapter 20 6
Chapter 20 6 Dicarboxylic Acids • Aliphatic diacids are usually called by their common names (to be memorized). • For IUPAC name, number the chain from the end closest to a substituent. • Two carboxyl groups on a benzene ring indicate a phthalic acid.

Structure of Carboxyl Carbon is sp2 hybridized. ·Bond angles are close to120°. ·O-H eclipsed with C=O,to get overlap ofπ orbital with orbital of lone pair on oxygen. :O major very minor minor Chapter 20
Chapter 20 7 Structure of Carboxyl • Carbon is sp2 hybridized. • Bond angles are close to 120. • O-H eclipsed with C=O, to get overlap of orbital with orbital of lone pair on oxygen. =>
Boiling Points Higher boiling points than similar alcohols, due to dimer formation. ∠0H-0 R C- R 0-H…0 hydrogen-bonded acid dimer Acetic acid,b.p.118C 二> Chapter 20 8
Chapter 20 8 Boiling Points Higher boiling points than similar alcohols, due to dimer formation. Acetic acid, b.p. 118C =>
Melting Points Aliphatic acids with more than 8 carbons are solids at room temperature. Double bonds (especially cis)lower the melting point.Note these 18-C acids: >Stearic acid (saturated):72C >Oleic acid (one cis double bond):16C >Linoleic acid (two cis double bonds):-5C => Chapter 20 9
Chapter 20 9 Melting Points • Aliphatic acids with more than 8 carbons are solids at room temperature. • Double bonds (especially cis) lower the melting point. Note these 18-C acids: ➢Stearic acid (saturated): 72C ➢Oleic acid (one cis double bond): 16C ➢Linoleic acid (two cis double bonds): -5C =>
Solubility Water solubility decreases with the length of the carbon chain. Up to 4 carbons,acid is miscible in water. More soluble in alcohol. Also soluble in relatively nonpolar solvents like chloroform because it dissolves as a dimer. => Chapter 20 10
