Abstract:
In this review, specific therapeutic and medicinal advantages including antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor, strategies for drug designing, structure-activity relationship, advances in the syntheses of azo and hippuric acid derivatives of more than 50 compounds have been discussed since 2009-2018. It is found that phenyl-diazenyl azo derivatives and pyridinyl substituted hippuric acid derivatives showed promising antiretroviral potential. The incorporation of azo functionality to the respective quinolones and coumarin moieties and the insertion of thiocarbazone to hippuric acid displayed immense antibacterial activities. While, azo and hippuric acid derivatives of triazole and phenyl species gave maximum fungicidal as well as cytotoxic activities.

01:28Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...

01:16Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.

01:13Relative Reactivity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
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
