Amino acids 03:42

Amino acids are the monomers that comprise proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, or the alpha (α) carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom. Every amino acid also has another atom or group of atoms bonded to the central atom known as the R group. There are 20 common amino acids present in proteins, each with a different R group. Variation in the amino acid sequence is responsible for...

Carboxylic Acids to Esters: Acid-Catalyzed (Fischer) Esterification Mechanism 01:13

9.6K

Carboxylic acids react with alcohols to yield esters via an acid-catalyzed condensation reaction called Fischer esterification. This is a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction that proceeds via a tetrahedral intermediate, where a water molecule is eliminated as the leaving group.

The mechanism of this reaction was confirmed by Robert and Urey (1938) through a radioisotope labeling experiment, where esterification of a carboxylic acid was carried out using 18O-labeled alcohol. The...

Acidity of Carboxylic Acids 01:21

8.6K

Carboxylic acids are the strongest organic acids. However, their acidic strength is much less than mineral acids like HCl. Carboxylic acids ionize in water and readily lose the hydroxyl proton to form a resonance-stabilized carboxylate ion.

The acid dissociation constant (Ka) or pKa value indicates the extent of ionization, reflecting the moderate acidic strength of carboxylic acids. For simple carboxylic acids, the Ka values are around 10−5, and the pKa values are in the range of 4–5. In...

Carboxylic Acids to Acid Chlorides 01:18

8.7K

Carboxylic acids react with SOCl2 or PCl5 to form acid chlorides. Amongst the carboxylic acid derivatives, acid chlorides are the most reactive and synthetically important derivatives. They are useful reagents for Friedel–Crafts acylation of some aromatic compounds.

An alternative reagent for converting a carboxylic acid to an acid chloride is phosphorus pentachloride. The mechanism involves the attack by a carboxylic acid at the phosphorus center of PCl5 while eliminating a chloride ion....

Amino Acid Catabolism 01:18

1.0K

Microorganisms rely on proteins as an essential carbon and energy source, particularly in environments with limited polysaccharides or lipids. However, proteins are too large to cross the plasma membrane unaided, necessitating enzymatic degradation. Microbes secrete extracellular proteases and peptidases that hydrolyze proteins into peptides, which can then be transported across the membrane. Once inside the cell, intracellular proteases degrade these peptides into free amino acids, which...

Acidity and Basicity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives 01:25

4.2K

Carboxylic acids are the strongest among organic acids, as they readily lose the hydroxyl proton to form a resonance-stabilized carboxylate ion. In comparison, the acid derivatives lack acidic hydrogens directly attached to a functional group. In these compounds, the acidic nature arises from their ability to lose α hydrogens, making them weakly acidic.
The relative acidic strength of the derivatives can be explained based on the extent of resonance stabilization of the conjugate base. The...
