Document Summary
Organic compounds having cooh group called carboxylic group. this functional group is composed of. Having one carboxylic group, also called monobasic acid. General formula - cnh2no2 ( n = 1, 2, 3, ). higher mono carboxylic acids are called fatty acids. Dicarboxylic acid : having two carboxylic groups, also called dibasic acid. Tricarboxylic acid : having three carboxylic groups also called tribasic acid. Last three acids are found in goat fat word - (caper-goat). By oxidation of primary alcohol with acidic kmno 4 or acidic k 2cr 2o 7 : Aldehydes on oxidation with usual oxidizing agent gives carboxylic acid with same number of carbon atoms as in the aldehyde. H c6h5cooh (a) rch = chr" (b) rch = chr" ( i ) conc. By hydrolysis of acyl derivat ive s of carboxylic acid : H r cooh + hcl (r co)2o + h2o. Cyanide hydrolysis w ith di lute acids : The mechanism of hydrolysis of r cn is as follows.
