crab.rutgers.eduCh21 Carboxylic acid Derivatives(landscape).docx Page 1 Carboxylic acid Derivatives Carboxylic acid derivatives are described as compounds that can be converted to carboxylic acids via simple acidic or basic hydrolysis. The most important acid derivatives are esters, amides and nitriles, although acid halides and anhydrides are also derivatives (really …

Esters are less reactive toward nucleophilic acyl substitution than Acid chlorides or acid anhydrides. 1.Aminolysis: Esters react with ammonia, 1° amd 2° amines to give amides 2.Hydrolysis: Esters can be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids under basic conditions or acid-catalysis.
Carboxylic Acids
crab.rutgers.eduCarboxylic acid derivatives differ in the nature of the group bound to the acyl group. -OH is an acid-Cl is the acid chloride-OCOR' is the anhydride-OR' is the ester-NR 2 is the amide Nucleophilic acyl substitution can interconvert all of these different acid derivatives.
