What is Chemistry of Carboxylic Acid about?
Carboxylic acids contain the -COOH group and are acidic, forming carboxylate salts upon deprotonation. They have higher boiling points than alcohols due to hydrogen bonding and can be produced through oxidation of primary alcohols, aldehydes, or hydrolysis of nitriles. Esters, derived from carboxylic acids, have lower boiling points, are neutral, and can be prepared by reacting alcohols with carboxylic acids, while also being used in perfumes and as solvents.
