    Preparation of Carboxylic Acids: Carboxylation of Grignard Reagents

    Carboxylic acids can be prepared by the carboxylation of Grignard reagents (RMgX). This method is convenient for converting alkyl (primary, secondary or tertiary), vinyl, benzyl, and aryl halides to carboxylic acids with one additional carbon than the starting RMgX.
    Preparation of Carboxylic Acids: Overview01:31

    Preparation of Carboxylic Acids: Overview

    There are various methods for the preparation of carboxylic acids. For example, oxidation of primary alcohols or aldehydes using strong oxidizing agents results in a carboxylic acid. Aldehydes can also be oxidized in the presence of mild oxidizing agents.
    Reactions of Carboxylic Acids: Introduction01:41

    Reactions of Carboxylic Acids: Introduction

    Carboxylic acids possess an acidic –COOH functional group. The acidity can be attributed to the resonance stabilization of their conjugate base, wherein the negative charge is delocalized over both oxygen atoms.
    Preparation of Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis of Nitriles01:19

    Preparation of Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis of Nitriles

    Nitriles (R–CN) can be converted into carboxylic acids (R–COOH) upon treatment with aqueous acids, i.e., upon hydrolysis of nitriles. Under base-catalyzed conditions, carboxylate anions (R–COO−) are formed.
    Relative Reactivity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives01:13

    Relative Reactivity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

    Carboxylic acid derivatives such as acid halides, anhydrides, esters, and amides undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions with varying degrees of reactivity.
    A key factor in assessing the reactivity of the acid derivatives is the basicity of the substituent or the leaving group. The lower the basicity of the leaving group, the higher the reactivity of the derivative. The basicity of the leaving group follows this order:
    Halide ions < Acyloxy ions < Alkoxy ions < Amine ions
    Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives01:19

    Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

    Intermolecular forces dictate several physical properties such as boiling points, melting points, solubilities, and so forth. They are classified into four types: ionic forces, hydrogen bonds, dipole–dipole forces, and dispersion forces. Ionic forces are the strongest, while dispersion forces are the weakest.
    Among the carboxylic acid derivatives, the boiling points of acid chlorides and esters are very similar and are the lowest in the series. Acid anhydrides have slightly higher boiling...
