Carboxylic acids
Remember Yr11 patterns?!:
metal + acid  salt + hydrogen
MASH
base + acid  salt + water
BASH O
CASH OCO carbonate + acid  salt + water + carbon dioxide

For weak acids, the metal in each case
attaches to the COO- group to form the salt
Reactions:
• Making esters with alcohol
• Making acyl chloride
• acid + PCl5 or PCl3 or SOCl2 → acyl cloride + HCl + rest
(nucleophilic substitution)
• Lucas will not work (can disting. COOH & OH)
Carboxylic acids
Explain why an acid turns damp litmus red:
-COOH + H2O → -COO- + H3O+
Not really the right place but...
Explain why an amine turns damp litmus blue:
-NH2 + H2O → -NH3+ + OH-
Acyl chlorides
HCl is produced in every reaction!
• Acyl chloride + H2O → Carboxylic acid + HCl
• Nucleophilic substitution
• Acyl chloride + alcohol → ester + HCl
• Condensation
• Doesn’t require heat/catalyst so preferred
method for making ester
• Remember crocodile is an alcoholic!!!!
• Acyl chloride + NH3(alc) → 1 amide + HCl
• Nucleophilic substitution
• HCl will further react with NH3 to form NH4Cl
• Acyl chloride + amine → 2 amide + HCl
• Nucleophilic substitution
Esters
• Carboxylic acid + alcohol → Ester + H2O
• Slow. Requires reflux/catalyst conc. H2SO4
• Distillation separates products. Esters come off
first
• Formation of triglycerides:
• Glycerol (alcohol) + fatty acids (long chain
carboxylic acids)
•
•
•
•
Hydrolysis of esters: Using water to split them
needs weak acid (forms alcohol + carbox acid)
or weak alkali (acid product reacts to form salt)
this is how soap is formed
Amides
• Neutral. Do not react with acids to form salts
(different to amines)
• Acyl chloride + NH3(alc) → amide + HCl
• Ester + NH3(alc) → amide + alcohol
(Slow)
• Hydrolysis of amides. Heating with mineral acid
or alkali
• Amide + H3O+ → Carboxylic acid + NH4+
• Amide + OH- → -COO- + NH3
• Popular with examiners
Polymers
From Yr12: addition polymers
• monomers containing a double bond form a long
chain containing single bonds
• e.g. Polyethene, PVC, polypropylene, polystyrene
Condensation polymers: H2O or HCl is lost at each join
Polyesters
• reacting diol with
dicarboxylic acid
• Could have one
monomer containing
both groups
• e.g. Terylene
• HOCH2CH2OH +
HOOC-C6H6-COOH
Polyamides
• reacting diamine with
dicarboxylic acid or
acyl chloride
• e.g. Nylon
• hydrolysed by dilute
acid into carboxylic
acid + amine

Protein
• Amino acids
contain a
carboxylic acid
group and an
amine group
• Condensation
• forms amide
links known as
peptide links

• Glucose

molecules join to

• neighbouring

A polymer is a long chain molecule
repeating units called monomers.
A polyester is formed from the joining of monomers
containing an alcohol group and a carboxylic acid via
condensation to form an ester link ejecting a molecule of
water or HCl
Polyester could be formed from two different monomers:
HOOC-R-COOH + HO-R-OH → HOOC-R-COO-R-OH
Or one monomer:
HOOC-R-OH + HOOC-R-OH → HOOC-R-OOC-R-OH

Nylon is easily hydrolysed by acid
as it breaks the amide link to form
the 2 monomers.
Teflon is not hydrolysed by acid as
the addition polymer only contains
single C-C bonds that are not easily
broken
