Carboxylic acids acetic acids

To understand the greater acidity of carboxylic acids compared with water and alcohols compare the structural changes that accompany the ionization of a representa tive alcohol (ethanol) and a representative carboxylic acid (acetic acid)... 

A prototype of such phenomena can be seen in even the simplest carboxylic acid, acetic acid (CH3CHOOH). Acidity is determined by the energy or free energy difference between the dissociated and nondissociated forms, whose energetics usually depend significantly on their conformation, e.g., the syn/anti conformational change of the carboxyl-ate group in the compound substantially affects the acid-base equilibrium. The coupled conformation and solvent effects on acidity is treated in Ref. 20.

Among the oxyacids of sulfur the predilection to form an anhydride with a sulfur-sulfur bond, rather than one with an oxygen bridge between the two sulfurs, is not restricted to sulfenic acids. We will see in a subsequent section that sulfinic acids also do this. Their anhydrides have the sulfinyl sulfone structure. RS(0)S02R, rather than RS(0)0S(0)R. What is unique about the sulfenic acid-thiolsulfinate system, however, is the fact that the anhydride (thiolsulfinate) is strongly preferred thermodynamically over the acid at equilibrium. With any other type of common acid the reverse is true, of course. The uniqueness of the sulfenic acid-thiolsulfinate situation can perhaps best be appreciated by realizing that, if the same stability relationship between acid and anhydride were to exist for carboxylic acids, acetic acid would spontaneously dehydrate to acetic anhydride ...

Write the Lewis structure for acetic acid, CH3COOH, a common example of a carboxylic acid. Acetic acid is the acid in vinegar and is formed when the ethanol in wine is oxidized. In the —COOH group, both O atoms are attached to the same C atom, and one of them is bonded to the final H atom. The two C atoms are bonded to each other. 

The effect of a nearby dipole in a molecule on a reaction elsewhere in that molecule is termed an inductive effect. Consider two carboxylic acids, acetic acid and chloroacetic acid ... 

Figure 1 shows the conversion of phenol in the presence of various Mn-Ce catalysts as a function of time. A deactivation was observed. At dl compositions, a very high rate of phenol disappearance was observed during the first minutes of the reaction, but a plateau was rapidly reached. The consumption of phenol corresponds to a decrease of total organic carbon in the solution. Very few intermediate molecules (only traces) were identified in the solution. These were benzoquinones, hydroquinone, catechol and some carboxylic acids. Acetic acid was not detected.

Low concentrations of carboxylic acids. Acetic acid and formic acids have boiling points near (formic) or above (acetic) water. Acetic acid does not form an azeotrope and the boiling point of the formic acid-water azeotrope is 107 °C. So, LLE is a viable option to extract these acids from water.

Transition metal salts and complexes also serve as homogeneous catalysts. In the Monsanto process, rhodium salts plus iodide convert methanol and carbon monoxide into an industrially useful carboxylic acid, acetic acid. The rhodium metal serves as the primary reaction site it binds the reactants and subsequently unbinds the products. The key reactions at the metal reaction site are called oxidative addition and reductive elimination. 

The second word is derived from the name of the two-carbon carboxylic acid (acetic acid or ethanoic acid). Thus, we have methyl acetate (common name) and methyl ethanoate (lUPAC name).
