Carbon compounds carboxylic acids

The lithio derivatives of dibenzofuran undergo the expected reactions. Carbonation yields carboxylic acids,reaction with sulfur dioxide yields sulfinic acids, and reaction with methyl sulfate yields methyl compounds. Alkylation can also be achieved by treatment of 4-lithio-dibenzofuran with alkyl halides. Silylation can be achieved with chlorotrimethyl- or chlorotriphenylsilane. " " Reaction of lithiodibenzo-furans with acetaldehyde and with benzonitrile take the expected course.

Noncatalytic oxidation to produce acetic acid can be carried out in the gas phase (350-400°C, 5-10 atm) or in the liquid phase (150-200°C). Liquid-phase catalytic oxidations are operated under similar mild conditions. Conditions for the oxidation of naphtha are usually more severe than those for n-butane, and the process gives more complex product mixtures.865-869 Cobalt and other transition-metal salts (Mn, Ni, Cr) are used as catalysts, although cobalt acetate is preferred. In the oxidation carried out in acetic acid solution at almost total conversion, carbon oxides, carboxylic acids and esters, and carbonyl compounds are the major byproducts. Acetic acid is produced in moderate yields (40-60%) and the economy of the process depends largely on the sale of the byproducts (propionic acid, 2-butanone). 

The physical properties, preparation and reactions of ruthenium tetroxide have been reviewed by Lee and van den Engh, Rylander," Haines and Hetuy and Lange. A more vigorous oxidant than osmium tetroxide, its reaction with double bonds produces only cleavage products. " Under neutral conditions aldehydes are formed from unsaturated secondary carbons while carboxylic acids are obtained under alkaline or acidic conditions. For example, Shalon and Elliott" found that ruthenium tetroxide reacted with compound (11) to give the corresponding aldehyde under neutral conditions, but that a carboxylic acid was formed in acidic or alkaline solvents (equation 23). 

Nitriles are compounds that contain a cyano group, C=N, bonded to an alkyl group. Nitriles have no carbonyl group, so they are structurally distinct from carboxylic acids and their derivatives. The carbon atom of the cyano group, however, has the same oxidation state as the carbonyl carbon of carboxylic acid derivatives, so there are certain parallels in their chemistry. 

Acyl compounds—carboxylic acids and their derivatives—typically undergo nucleophilic substitution in which —OH, —Cl, —OOCR, —NH2, or —OR is replaced by some other basic group. Substitution takes place much more readily than at a saturated carbon atom indeed, many of these substitutions do not usually take place at all in the absence of the carbonyl group, as, for example, replacement of-NHjby-OH. 

This is a symmetrical acid anhydride. The I.U.P.A.C. name of the four-carbon parent carboxylic acid is butanoic acid (common name butyric acid). To name the anhydride, simply replace the word acid with the word anhydride. The I.U.P.A.C. name of this compound is butanoic anhydride (common name butyric anhydride).

Polarography is used extensively for the analysis of metal ions and inorganic anions, such as lOg and NOg. Organic compounds containing easily reducible or oxidizable functional groups also can be studied polarographically. Functional groups that have been used include carbonyls, carboxylic acids, and carbon-carbon double bonds. 

One of the most sensitive tests of the dependence of chemical reactivity on the size of the reacting molecules is the comparison of the rates of reaction for compounds which are members of a homologous series with different chain lengths. Studies by Flory and others on the rates of esterification and saponification of esters were the first investigations conducted to clarify the dependence of reactivity on molecular size. The rate constants for these reactions are observed to converge quite rapidly to a constant value which is independent of molecular size, after an initial dependence on molecular size for small molecules. The effect is reminiscent of the discussion on the uniqueness of end groups in connection with Example 1.1. In the esterification of carboxylic acids, for example, the rate constants are different for acetic, propionic, and butyric acids, but constant for carboxyUc acids with 4-18 carbon atoms. This observation on nonpolymeric compounds has been generalized to apply to polymerization reactions as well. The latter are subject to several complications which are not involved in the study of simple model compounds, but when these complications are properly considered, the independence of reactivity on molecular size has been repeatedly verified.
