Topics and Learning Outcomes
Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives
identify and name simple carboxylic acids give the products from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with a base and recognize that this is a reversible reaction predict the product of the reduction of a carboxylic acid and give the reagents required to perform this reaction identify carboxylic acid derivatives as esters, amides, acid halides and acid anhydrides give the products obtained upon hydrolysis of these carboxylic acid derivatives recognize that acid halides are more reactive than esters which are, in turn, more reactive than amides predict the products that will be formed when a carboxylic acid derivative is treated with an alcohol or amine give the reagents required for the interconversion of carboxylic acid derivatives recognize a polymer and identify the repeating unit present
Synthetic Strategies
use the reactions of these functional groups to interconvert them and devise ways of making new compounds
