Saturated carboxylic acids, functional groups

Draw good diagrams of saturated hydrocarbons with seven carbon atoms having (a) linear, (b) branched, and (c) cyclic frameworks. Draw molecules based on each framework having both ketone and carboxylic acid functional groups. 

Test for a Carboxylic Acid. As illustrated in the above reaction, when a carboxylic acid comes in contad with a solution containing bicarbonate ion, carbon dioxide is generated. Once saturation of the solution by carbon dioxide occurs, bubbles of carbon dioxide gas are observed to form in the Uquid phase. This effervescence may be used as a qualitative test for the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group in an unknown substance. 

Fatty acids consist of a long, nonpolar hydrocarbon tail and a polar carboxylic acid functional group at the head. Fatty acids are the simplest lipid molecules. They have hydrophilic polar heads, but their hydrocarbon chains make them insoluble in water. Fatty acids can also be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have no carbon-carbon double bonds, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain. The Upid shown below is oleic acid, which is found in animal fat. 

The CD fragment 1s synthesized starting with resolved bicyclic acid 129. Sequential catalytic hydrogenation and reduction with sodium borohydride leads to the reduced hydroxy acid 1. The carboxylic acid function is then converted to the methyl ketone by treatment with methyl-lithium and the alcohol is converted to the mesylate. Elimination of the latter group with base leads to the conjugated olefin 133. Catalytic reduction followed by equilibration of the ketone in base leads to the saturated methyl ketone 134. Treatment of that intermediate with peracid leads to scission of the ketone by Bayer Villiger reaction to afford acetate 135. The t-butyl protecting... 

The NOM sample, which was concentrated as described in Appendix 1, was titrated using a Metrohm automatic titrator. The titrator was operated in dynamic titration mode. The samples were acidified from ambient pH to pH 2.8 with 0.1 M HNO. s and subsequently alkalised with 0.1 M NaOH to pH 10. It was assumed that at pH 2.8 all acidic functional groups will be saturated, whereas at pH 10 all carboxylic and half of the phenolic groups were dissociated. The limitations of these assumptions were discussed in Chapter 2. 

Carboxylic acids. It has been shown that improved adhesion can be obtained in joints produced with solvent-borne polyurethane adhesives containing small amount of different carboxylic acids. These carboxylic acids can be aliphatic or aromatic, unsaturated or saturated, may contain one or more carboxylic acid functionalities, and have hydroxyl, carbonyl, or halogen groups. Fumaric and maleic acids are the most common carboxylic acids added to the solvent-borne polyurethane adhesives for the joining of SBR rubber sole. 

In reality all carbon atoms share equally the pool of electrons which constitute the double bonds and benzene resists addition across the double bonds which would otherwise destroy its unique structure and stability. Single or multiple hydrogen atoms can be substituted to form a host of derivatives containing similar functional groups to those above, e.g. saturated and unsaturated aliphatic chains, amino, carboxylic acidic, halogeno, nitro, and sulphonic acid groups as shown in Table 3.6. 

The unsaturated retro-Michael product easily isomerizes to a dicarbonyl when the Cy also carries a hydroxyl group (X = OH in Fig. 2.3). Such components are notoriously unstable. They undergo decarbonylation to a shorter aldehyde and CO. The retro-Michael product can also be converted into a carboxylic acid via hydration of the aldehyde function (Fig. 2.3). Notably, the formation of the carboxylic acid is accompanied by the saturation of the Cp it in fact represents an exchange reaction between the OH, and the aldehydic H.

Phosgene is highly toxic gas (caution ). Phosgene is a suitable reagent for this method since it can simultaneously activate several functional groups such as amines, carboxylic acids, hydroxyl, etc. Twenty percent of COCl in toluene, almost saturated solution, is commercial available from Aldrich ( 681776).
