Chapter II: Carboxylic acid and its derivatives
- Boiling points and melting points of carboxylic acid are much higher than those of
corresponding alcohol because of stronger hydrogen bonds between acid molecules.

+ Chloroacetic acid
- Mechanism:
proton hoá
Step 1: The carboxylic acid is protonated on its carbonyl oxygen. The
proton donor shown in the equation for this step is an alkyloxonium
ion formed by proton transfer from the acid catalyst to the alcohol.
Step 3: The oxonium ion formed in step 2 loses a proton to give the
tetrahedral intermediate in its neutral form. This concludes the first stage
in the mechanism.
Chapter II: Carboxylic acid and its derivatives
Step 4: The second stage begins with protonation of the tetrahedral
intermediate on one of its hydroxyl oxygens.
Esterification may be driven to the right either by using an excess of one of the
reactants or by removing one of the products. For example, in forming ethyl
esters, excess ethanol is often used to drive the equilibrium as far as possible
toward the ester. Alternatively, water may be removed either by distilling it out
or by adding a dehydrating agent such as magnesium sulfate or molecular
sieves (dehydrated zeolite crystals that adsorb water).

- Hydroxy acids, compounds that contain both a hydroxyl and a carboxylic acid
function, have the capacity to form cyclic esters called lactones. This
intramolecular esterification takes place spontaneously when the ring that is formed
is five- or six-membered. Lactones that contain a five-memberedcyclic ester are
referred to as γ-lactones; their six-membered analogs are known as δ-lactones.

Carboxylic acids are converted to their methyl esters very simply by adding an
ether solution of diazomethane. The only by-product is nitrogen gas, and any
excess diazomethane also evaporates. Purification of the ester usually involves
only evaporation of the solvent. Yields are nearly quantitative in most cases.

2.2.2.2 Structure
- Physical properties : These compounds have lower boiling points and melting points
than corresponding carboxylic acid does, except for amide( because they can not
form hydrogen bonding between molecules)
Chapter II: Carboxylic acid and its derivatives
- Solubilities : chloride acid and anhydride acid react violently with water.
Small molecule ester, amide are soluble in water.

When ethyl benzoate, labeled with the mass-18 isotope of the carbonyl oxygen,
then subjected it to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis in ordinary (unlabeled) water. He
found that ethyl benzoate, recovered from the reaction before hydrolysis was
complete, had lost a portion of its isotopic label. This observation is consistent
only with the reversible formation of a tetrahedral intermediate under the reaction
conditions:

Acid chlorides are more reactive than other acid derivatives, and they are
reduced to aldehydes by mild reducing agents such as lithium tri-tert-
butoxyaluminum hydride. Diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H)
reduces esters to aldehydes at low temperatures, and it also reduces nitriles
to aldehydes.
