20.9 Properties, Synthesis, and Reactions of Carboxylic Acids | Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a lesson on the summary of the synthesis and reactions of carboxylic acids. The synthesis of carboxylic acid reactions include ozonolysis of alkenes and alkynes, oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes with chromic acid, side chain oxidation of alkyl-substituted benzenes with KMnO4 or chromic acid, the hydrolysis of nitriles, and grignard addition to CO2. The reactions of carboxylic acids include conversion to acid halides, Fischer Esterification and reduction with LiAlH4.
