Carboxylic acids contain the carboxyl group (-COOH) with the hydroxyl group directly attached to the carbonyl group. They are commonly found in nature, especially in fruits. Nomenclature of carboxylic acids involves identifying the parent chain and any substituents. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups increases acidity by stabilizing the carboxylate anion, while electron-donating groups have little effect or decrease acidity. Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than similar compounds due to
