The first three acids are colourless, pungent smelling liquids. The next four smell like bitter goat’s butter where as higher members are colourless solids. Solubility, the lower aliphatic carboxylic acids are soluble in water. While the higher members are insoluble. The boiling points of carboxylic acids is even more than alcohols. The melting points of carboxylic acids show alteration effect or oscillation effect. The melting points of even members is always higher than the next higher or lower odd number acid. This is because even number acids is more symmetrical and fits well into the crystal lattice and more energy is required to break them. CH2

5. ACID DERIVATIVES : General : A functional derivative of a carboxylic acid is a compound formed by replacement of the hydroxyl group of the acid by some other group, say Z, that can be hydrolysed back to the parent acid.

Members : Four important classes of acid derivatives are 1. 2.

Esters Acid anhydrides

RCOOR RCOOCOR

3.

Acid chlorides

RCOCl

4.

Acid amides

RCONH2

Where R and R stand alkyl or phenyl groups. All these compounds contain the acyl group (RCO–) and hence they are also known as acyl compounds.

Nucleophilic Acyl substitution : The presence of the carbonyl group in the acid derivatives brings on these molecules certain characteristic reactivity. Thus the acyl compounds undergo nucleophillic substitution in which –OH of the acid, –Cl of the acid chloride, –OOCR of the acid anhydride, –NH2 of the amide and –OR. of the ester is replaced by some other basic groups. This is possible only due to the presence of the carbonyl group because nucleophillic substitution does not usually take place at a saturated carbon atom.

R – C – Z + Nu O

R–C=O+Z

–

Nu

Where –Z stands for –OH, –Cl, –OOCR, –NH2 or –OR. The above nucleophilic acyl substitution proceeds by two steps : (1) Intermediate formation of a tetrahedral anion. This step is affected by two factors : (a) Favoured by electron-wtihdrawl which stabilizes the developing negative charge on the oxygen atom. (b) Steric hinderence by the presence of bulky groups which become crowded together in the transition state. (2) Ejection of Z group and returning to a trigonal compound. This step depends upon the basicity of the leaving group; Weaker the base, better the leaving group. Non-Occurance of acyl nucleophillic substitution reactions in aldehydes and ketones. Acid derivatives show acyl nucleophillic substitution reactions while aldehydes and ketones do not show these reactions. This is explained on the basis of following two reasons :

11

Carboxylic Acid & It's Derivatives

(1) Stability of the intermediate tetrahedral anion : The attack of the nucleophile on the acyl carbon atom of the acid derviatives produces a less stable intermediate :Z: (tetra hedral anion R – C – O due to the presence of an additional electron with drawing group Z, while the Nu

R

intermediate obtained during such an attack on aldehydes and ketones (R – C – O–) where R and R may be alkyl Z

or hydrogen) is more stable. This results in the ejection of group Z to form stable trigonal compound. (2) Basicity of the leaving group : The ease with which a group is lost depends upon its basicity; the weaker the base, the better the leaving group. The hydride ion (H O- ) or alkiyde ion (R O- ) are the leaving groups of aldehydes and ketones whereas Cl O- , RCOO–, R – O O- and NH2 are the leaving groups of acid derivatives i.e., acid chlorides, anhydrides, ester and amides respectively. Cl–, RCOO– etc, are comparatively weaker bases than H O- or R O- ions. Rather H O- and R O- are the strongest bases of all. So aldehydes and ketones show nucleophillic addition reactions instead. The order of reactivity of the acid derivatives towards nucleophillic acyl substitution has been found to be : RCOCl > RCOOCOR > RCOOR > RCONH2.

CH3 — C = CH — C — OC2H5 (Enol-form)

The keto-form structure is supported by the reactions of acetoacetic ester with HCN, NaHSO3, NH2OH and phenyl hydrazine whereas the enol-form structure is supported by reactions with Na, PCl5, FeCl3 and decolourisation of Br2 water. Knorr (1911) isolated both the keto- and enol- forms of acetoacetic ester at low temperature. At room temperature, the two form co-exist in dynamic equilibrium with 93% of the keto-form and 7% of the enolform. It is a pleasant smelling liquid. Its synthetic utility depends upon the facts that it can form alkyl derivatives and it can be hydrolysed in two ways. O

Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine even then, p-fluorobenzoic acid is a weaker acid than p-chlorobenzoic acid. Explain. Since the compound are more electronegative than carbon and also possesses lone pairs of electrons, therefore, they exert both –I and +R effects. Now in F, the lone of electrons are present in 2p-orbitals but in Cl, they are present in 3p orbitals. Since 2p-orbitals of F and C are of almost equal size, therefore, the +R effect is more pronounced in p-Fluorobenzoic acid than in p-Chlorobenzoic acid. 2p 2p F—

— COOH

Stronger +R-effect

3p Cl —

2p — COOH

Weaker +R-effect

Thus in p-Fluorobenzoic acid +R effect outweighs the –I effect but in p-Chlorobenzoic acid, it is the –I effect which out weighs the +R effect. Hence p-Fluorobenzoic acid is weaker thanp-Chlorobenzoic acid. Ex.8

Since N is less electronegative than oxygen, therefore, N can donate a pair of electrons more readily than oxygen. Therefore, magnitude of positive charge on carbonyl carbon in benzamide is less than in methyl benzoate. Thus during hydrolysis, attack of OH– ion on carbonyl carbon in benzamide is difficult than in methyl benzoate. An organic acid (A) on heating with AlPO4 at 700ºC forms (B). Compound (B) also reacts with (A), to give (C). Compound (C) on reaction with 1, 3, 5-trimethyl benzene in presence of AlCl3 gives a ketone (D) and CH3COOH. (D) on treatment with Na(Hg)/HCl gives an aromatic hydrocarbon E. Give structures of (A) to (E) with proper reasoning. (a) The reaction of compound (B) with (C) to form a ketone (D) and acetic acid is an example of Friedal Craft acylation. Hence (C) should be an acyl chloride or an acid anhydride. Since CH3COOH ia also formed in the reaction (C) must be acetic anhydride. Had these (b) been acetyl chloride or any other acid chloride HCl should have been there instead to CH3COOH.

Treatment of (C) with alkaline C6H5SO2Cl produces (E) which on vigorous oxidation with KMnO4 gives (F). Hydrolysis of (F) gives a steam volatile compound (G) having M.F. C7H6O 3. Give the structures of (A) to (G) giving the proper reaction sequences.

Q.28

A neutral compound (A) C 9H16O2 on refluxing with dilute alkali followed by acidification yields (B) C5H8O2 and (C) C4H10O. (B) liberates CO2 from bicarbonate solution. (C) on dehydration yields 2-butene as the major product. B on treatment with OsO4 followed by reactive hydrolysis gives (D) C5H10O4.

Dimerization of acetic acid occur in benzene via intermolecular H–bonding. Hydrogen bond is a special type of dipole –dipole attraction. Sp hybridized carbon of – C C – of acid () and SP2 hybridized carbon of – C = C – of acid () attract the bonded electron more than do the SP3 – hybridzed carbon atoms. Consequently –CC– and –C=C– are acid strengthening E WG’s [Electron withdrawing group, stabilizes anion, thus stengthen’s acid] This makes CH3CH2COOH weakest of all these three acids since –CC– is more acid strengthining group than –C=C– group. This make acid () stranger than acid ()

Q.15

Q.16 Q.17 Q.18

The electron charge in carboxylate ion is more dispersed in comparision to phenoxide ion, since there are two electro negative oxygen carboxylate ion as compared to oxygen atom in phenoxide ion. CH3COCl will after least stearic hinderance hence it hydrolysis will be more vigrous. Amide = CH3CONH2 Therefore acid is CH3COOH Acid (Y) obtained after decarboxylation must be mono carboxylic acid thus molecular weight = Equiva lent weight The acid must be (COOH  45g / mol) Given mass = 60g  = 60 – 45 = 15g/mol Which is definetely due to –CH3 Hence Y is CH3COOH Carboxylic acid (X) has second COOH replacing H of CH3COOH So(X) is malonic acid H2 C COOH of molecular mass 60 + 44 = 104 COOH

Since it has two – COOH group so its equivalent mass = 104/2 = 52 g/eq.

The compound E must be ketonic compound as it does not give Tollens test and does not rce Fehling’s solution but forms a 2, 4-dinitrophenyl-hydrazone. Therefore, its structure would be CH3 COCH3 (acetone). Since E is obtained by heating B with Ca(OH)2 , the compound B must be CH3 COOH (acetic acid). Since B is obtained by oxidation of D with KMnO4, the compound D must be an alcohol with molecular formula CH3CH2 OH (ethanol). Since B and D are obtained by acid hydrolysis of C, the compound C must be an ester CH3COOC2H5 (ethyl acetate). Since the compounds B (acetic acid) and C (ethyl acetate) are obtained by treatingAwith ethanol, the compound Amust be an anhydride (CH 3CO) 2O (acetic anhydride).

As soon as enol form is consumed, its colouration with FeCl3 disappears and excess of bromine gives brown colour.As keto and enol forms are in equilibrium, when enol form is used, the equilibrium shifts to right hand side to give more enol form which discharges the colour of excess of Br2 and gives blue violet colour with excess of FeCl3 present in the reaction mixture.
