A water-insoluble organic compound that dissolves in cold dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide must be either a carboxylic acid or one of the few other kinds of organic compounds more acidic than water that it is indeed a carboxylic acid can then be shown in other ways. 

Amino acids As you saw in Chapter 23, many different functional groups are found in organic compounds. Amino acids, as their name implies, are organic molecules that have both an amino group and an acidic carboxyl group. The general structure of an amino acid is shown below. 

These organic compounds possess acidic functional groups, such as carboxylic or phenolic, that dissociate to form anions ... 

Zn(SH)(Tp Bu>Me)] does not react with esters, phosphates, or CO2, e.g., for thiolytic cleavage reactions, whereas acidic organic X-OH compounds (carboxylic acids, trinitrophenol, hexafluoroacetylace-tone) replace the SH groups with the formation of [Zn(OX)-(Tp Bu Me)].103 The reaction of [Zn(OH)(Tp,Bu Me)] with alcohols has been followed by combined experimental and computational investigations in order to determine the factors influencing the formation of tetrahedral alkoxide complexes. The [Zn(OR)(Tp Bu,Me)l derivatives have been found unstable toward hydrolysis.104... 

Zn(SH)(Tppy,Me)] has been synthesized by the reaction of the corresponding zinc-hydroxide complex with H2S. Acidic organic X-OH compounds (carboxylic acids, trinitrophenol, hexafluoroacetylace-tone) replace the SH groups with formation of [Zn(OX)(Tppy,Me)].103... 

Many organic compounds have acid or base properties. The chemistry of organic acids and bases will be discussed in Chapters 15 (Carboxylic Acids and Carboxylic Acid Derivatives) and 16 (Amines and Amides). 

In the systematic nomenclature of organic compounds the acids of this series are named from the hydrocarbons to which they are related, in a way analogous to that adopted for the fatty acids. For example, acrylic acid, CH2 = CH.COOH, is named propenoic acid. The position of the double bond is indicated by placing before the name of the acid the Greek letter A to which is added a number indicative of the position of the double bond, thus,the substance of the structure,CH3.CH2.CH = CHCH2COOH is called A -hexenoic acid. The after the A indicates that the double bond is between the second and third carbon atom from the carboxyl group. The older names of the acids are usually used in the case, however, of newly described acids, and those of complex structure, the systematic method of naming compounds is employed. 

These compounds are called carboxylic acids. The R group above simply refers to the rest of the molecule that has not been drawn. Carboxylic acids are actually not very acidic at all compared with inorganic acids such as H2SO4 or HCl. CarboxyUc acids are only considered to be acidic when compared with other organic compounds. The acidity of carboxylic acids highlights the fact that acidity is relative.
