IUPAC Rules for Naming Carboxylic Acids1. To establish the parent name, identify the
longest carbon chain that includes the carboxyl group.
2. Drop the final –e from the corresponding hydrocarbon name.
3. Add the suffix –oic acid.
HCOOH, methanoic acid
CH3COOH ethanoic acid
CH3CH2COOH propanoic acid
8
Naming Carboxylic Acids
• Other groups bonded to the parent chain are numbered and named as we have done previously.

Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
• Each aliphatic carboxylic acid molecule is polar and consists of a carboxylic acid group and a hydrocarbon group (-R).– Carbons 1-4 = water soluble– Carbons 5-8 = slightly water soluble– Carbons 8 and above = virtually insoluble in water
13
Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acids
• The comparatively high boiling points for carboxylic acids are due to intermolecular attractions resulting from hydrogen bonding.

Classification of Carboxylic Acids
• saturated monocarboxylic acids• unsaturated carboxylic acids• aromatic carboxylic acids• dicarboxylic acids• hydroxy acids• amino acids
17
Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids
• An unsaturated acid contains one or more C=C. – Acrylic acid, CH2=CHCOOH, also called propenoic
acid.
• Even one C=C bond exerts an influence on the physical and chemical properties of the acid.
Ex: stearic acid CH3(CH2)16COOH, mp = 70 C vs.
oleic acid CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH, mp = 16 C
18
Aromatic Carboxylic Acids• In an aromatic carboxylic acid, the carbon
of the carboxyl group (-COOH) is bonded directly to a carbon in an aromatic ring.

of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.COOH

21
Amino Acids• Each amino acid molecule has a carboxyl
group that acts as an acid and an amino group that acts as a base.
• About 20 biologically important amino acids, each with a different group represented by R, are found in nature.

ions in solution, acids in general have the following properties:

suitable indicators.3. Form water solutions with pH values less than

39
Properties of Esters• Simple esters derived from monocarboxylic
acids and monohydroxy alcohols are colorless, generally nonpolar liquids or solids.
• Low- and intermediate-molar-mass esters (both acids and alcohols up to about 10 carbons) are liquid with characteristic (usually fragrant or fruity) odors.
40
Occurrence and Properties of Esters
• High-molar-mass esters (formed from acids or alcohols of 16 or more carbons) are waxes and are obtained from various plants.– They are used in furniture wax and automobile
wax preparations.– Carnauba wax contains esters of 24-and 28-
carbon fatty acids and 32- and 34-carbon alcohols.

Polyesters: Condensation Polymers
• Condensation polymers are formed by substitution reactions between neighboring monomers.
• The polyesters are joined by ester linkages between carboxylic acid and alcohol groups.– The macromolecule formed may be linear or
cross-linked.

Hydrolysis
• The most important reaction of esters is hydrolysis – the splitting of molecules through the addition of water.
• A catalyst is often required.– An acid or base– In living systems, enzymes act as catalysts.
46
Acid Hydrolysis
• The hydrolysis of an ester involves the reaction with water to form a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

Alkaline Hydrolysis (Saponification)• Saponification is the hydrolysis of an ester by a
strong base (NaOH or KOH) to produce an alcohol and a salt (or soap if the salt formed is from a high-molar-mass acid).
• Notice that in saponification, the base is a reactant and not a catalyst.

Fats and Oils• Fats and oils are esters of glycerol and
predominantly long-chain fatty acids.
• Fats and oils are also called triacylglycerols or triglycerides, since each molecule is derived from one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid:

51
TriacylglycerolThe structural formulas of triacylglycerol molecules differ because:
1. The length of the fatty acid chain varies from 4 to 20 carbons, but the number of carbon atoms in the chain is nearly always even.
2. Each fatty acid may be saturated or unsaturated and may contain one, two, or three C=C.
3. A triacylglycerol may, and frequently does, contain three different fatty acids.
52
53
• The most abundant unsaturated acids in fats and oils contain 18 carbon atoms.
• In all of these naturally occurring unsaturated acids, the configuration about C=C is cis.
54
Physical Differences Between Fats & Oils
• Fats are solid; oils are liquid at room temperature
• Fats contain a larger portion of saturated fatty acids whereas oils contain greater amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.– Polyunsaturated means that each molecule of
fat contains several C=C.
55
Comparison of Fats & Oils
• Fats come from animal sources:
–Lard from hogs, tallow from cattle and sheep
• Oils come from vegetable sources:
–Olives, corn, peanut, soybean, canola
56
Hydrogenation of Glycerides
• Hydrogen adds to the C=C of oil to saturate it and form fats:
• H2 + -CH=CH- -CH2-CH2-
• In practice, only some of the C=C are allowed to become saturated.– Partial hydrogenation
Ni
57
Hydrogenolysis
• Triacylglycerols can be split and reduced in a reaction called hydrogenolysis (splitting by hydrogen).
58
Hydrolysis
• Triacylglycerols can be hydrolyzed, yielding fatty acids and glycerol.
59
Saponification
• The saponification of a fat or oil involves the alkaline hydrolysis of a triester.
• The products formed are glycerol and the alkali metal salts of fatty acids, which are called soaps.

61
Soaps and Synthetic Detergents
• In the broadest sense possible, a detergent is simply a cleansing agent.
• A soap is distinguished from a synthetic detergent on the basis of chemical composition and not on the basis of function or usage.
62
Soaps• Salts of long-chained fatty acids are
called soaps.
• Fat or oil + NaOH Soap + Glycerol
63Figure 24. 1 Cleansing action of soap.
64
Synthetic Detergents - AnionicThe one great advantage these synthetic detergents have over soap is that their Ca+2, Mg+2, and Fe+3 salts, as well as their Na+1 salts, are soluble in water. Therefore, they are nearly as effective in hard water as in soft water.

nonpolar hydrophobic end,grease soluble
polar hydrophilic end,water soluble
65
Synthetic Detergents – Nonionic• The molecule of a nonionic detergent contains a
grease-soluble component and a water soluble component.
• Some of these substances are especially useful in automatic washing machines because they have good detergent, but low sudsing, properties.

66
Biodegradability
• Organic substances that are readily decomposed by microorganisms in the environment are said to be biodegradable.
• Detergents that contain straight-chain alkyl groups are biodegradable.
