Carboxylic Acid Organic Chemistry Review

Carboxylic Acid Reaction

Carboxylic acid reaction exam questions - how to make carboxylic acid and how to use carboxylic acid to make other carboxylic acid derivative - ex: OH group turns into other function group like Cl gives an acid chloride. One good news about this chapter is the reactions are much easier than reactions of aldehydes and ketones. The quantity of the reactions that needs to memory are very minimum.

Exam review: ask yourself attentively what are the reagent

"How to make acyl group from carboxylic acid?"

"How to make amide from carboxylic acid?"

Please use our formula sheet in the ebooks or your own to examine yourself what is to make the compound with what reagents. The answer is below ...

This question and answer are important because in the multi- synthesis, an acid chloride can convert to any other things because chloride is a good leaving group.

"How to make amide from carboxylic acid?"

First question comes to mind - what is amide? Amide and amine are often easily confused as more organic compounds are taught in class because their similarity N that appears. Amide is Nitrogen that bonds to an carbonyl group; amine is just nitrogen bonds to other carbon chain.
"How to make amide from carboxylic acid?"

How to make amide

In studying this session or review any reaction with amine... we needs to know that nitrogen can bind with three groups, if there are 4 groups one nitrogen, there will be a positive charge!

One questions that appears on PCAT that I did not nail what it is... was "What of the following combination make ester?"
