We have already learnt that treatment of alcohols with carboxylic acids in presence of mineral acid gives esters. By Reaction of Acid Halide With a Salt of Carboxylic AcidsĪcid chlorides on heating with sodium salt of carboxylic acids gives corresponding anhydride.Īcid anhydride are slowly hydrolysed, by water to form corresponding carboxylic acids.Īcid anhydride reacts with alcohols to form esters.Īcid anhydride reacts with ammonia to form amides.Īcid anhydride reacts with PCl 5 to form acyl chlorides. We have already learnt that when carboxylic acids are heated with P 2O 5 dehydration takes place to formĢ. (b) When reduced with LiAlH 4 gives primary alcohols. We have already learnt this reaction under the preparation of aldehydes. This reaction is called Rosenmund reduction. (a) When reduced with hydrogen in the presence of ‘poisoned’ palladium catalyst, they form aldehydes. Reaction with 1° and 2° Amines gives N-alkyl amides. Reaction with Ammonia (Ammonolysis) gives acid amides.Ĥ. Reaction with Alcohols (Alcoholysis) gives esters.ģ. They react with weak nucleophiles such as water, alcohols, ammonia and amines to produce the corresponding acid, ester, amide or substituted amides.Īcyl halides undergo hydrolysis to form corresponding carboxylic acidsĢ. They are insoluble in water but slowly begins to dissolve due to hydrolysis.They emit pale fumes of hydrogen chloride when exposed to air on account of their reaction with water vapour.This method is superior to others as the by products being gases escape leaving the acid chloride in the pure state. By Reaction with Thionyl Chloride (SOCl 2) Hence the order of reactivity of the acid derivatives with nucleophilic reagent follows the orderĪcid halide > acid anhydride > esters > acid amidesĪcid chlorides are prepared from carboxylic acid by treating it with anyone of the chlorinating agent such as SOCl 2, PCl 5, or PCl 3ġ. The order of electronegativity of the leaving groups follows the order – Cl > – OCOR > – OR > – NH 2 This effect makes the molecule more stable and reduces the reactivity of the acyl compound. Lesser the electronegativity of the group, greater would be the resonance stabilization as shown below. Hence the reverse is the order of reactivity. The correct order of the basicity of the leaving group is. Hence acyl derivatives with weaker bases as leaving groups (L) can easily rupture the bond and are more reactive. The above order of reactivity can be explained in terms of The reactivity of the acid derivatives follows the order
