Class I carbonyl compounds are those that will react by acyl substitutions They are all derivatives of carboxylic acids:
Acid halide A derivative of a carboxylic acid in which the JOH of the carboxyl group is replaced by a halogen—most commonly, chlorine Carboxylic anhydride A
Esters are derivative of carboxylic acids in which the –OH group on the carboxyl has been replaced with an –OR group Esterification (Preparation of Esters)
Carboxylic acid derivatives are classified according to the atom or group of atoms replacing the OH in the carboxy group as is shown in Table 12 3 Examples are
1 Importance of the subject: carboxylic acids and their derivatives are important metabolic intermediates formed in the human body as products of metabolism of
Substituted aromatic acids with one carboxyl group are named as derivatives of benzoic acid, with the position of substituents
In the last lesson, you studied about organic compounds containing functional groups having carbon-oxygen single bond There are other classes of organic
