Carboxylic acids and derivatives
Contents
Did you know that many fruit aromas including banana (isoamyl acetate) and pineapple (ethyl butanoate) come from molecules containing ester groups? These compounds can be synthesized from carboxylic acids using a reaction called Fischer esterification. We will be covering naming carboxylic acids, as well as the diverse chemistry of carboxylic acid derivatives such as acid chlorides, amides, esters, and anhydrides.
In this tutorial, Sal shows how to name carboxylic acids.
In this tutorial, Sal shows the formation of carboxylic acid derivatives including esters, acyl chlorides, and amides.
