What Is Covered in Topic 19 Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives?

Topic 19 Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives is a key component of the Cambridge AS & A Level Chemistry 9701 syllabus. A full, clearly sequenced unit covering carboxylic acids, esters, acyl chlorides, acid anhydrides and amides with diagrams, animations and fully worked examples. This comprehensive unit plan covers all essential concepts including:

1. Carboxylic Acids

  • The Carboxyl Functional Group (-COOH) – Understanding the structure and naming of carboxylic acids
  • Acidity of Carboxylic Acids – Understanding why carboxylic acids are weak acids and comparing their acidity with other compounds (order of acidity: carboxylic acid > phenol > water > alcohol). Explaining the stability of the carboxylate ion due to delocalisation
  • Preparation of Carboxylic Acids – Recalling the reactions by which carboxylic acids can be produced:
    • Oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes
    • Hydrolysis of nitriles
    • Hydrolysis of esters
    • Reaction of Grignard reagents with carbon dioxide
  • Reactions of Carboxylic Acids – Describing:
    • Reaction with metals (Na, K) to form salts
    • Reaction with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates
    • Reaction with bases (NaOH, KOH, NH₃) to form salts
    • Esterification with alcohols (acid-catalysed)
    • Reduction with LiAlH₄ to primary alcohols
  • Decarboxylation – Understanding the removal of CO₂ from carboxylic acids

2. Esters

  • Structure and Naming of Esters – Understanding ester formation and systematic naming
  • Preparation of Esters – Two routes: esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols (acid catalysed, reversible equilibrium) and reaction of acyl chlorides with alcohols (fast, irreversible, room temperature)
  • Hydrolysis of Esters – Acid hydrolysis (reversible equilibrium) and alkaline hydrolysis (saponification, irreversible). Understanding the industrial importance of saponification in the production of soaps from fats and oils
  • Fats and Oils – Understanding the formation of esters from glycerol and fatty acids

3. Acyl Chlorides and Acid Anhydrides

  • Production of Acyl Chlorides – From carboxylic acids using reagents such as PCl₃, PCl₅, or SOCl₂
  • Production of Acid Anhydrides – Understanding how acid anhydrides are formed
  • Reactions of Acyl Chlorides – Nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions:
    • With water (hydrolysis)
    • With alcohols (ester formation)
    • With phenols (phenyl ester formation)
    • With ammonia (primary amide formation)
    • With amines (N-substituted amide formation)
  • Reactions of Acid Anhydrides – Similar reactions to acyl chlorides (more expensive but less hazardous)
  • Comparative Reactivity – Order of reactivity: acyl chloride > acid anhydride > ester > amide

4. Amides

  • Structure and Naming of Amides – Understanding primary, secondary and tertiary amides
  • Preparation of Amides – From acyl chlorides and ammonia or amines
  • Hydrolysis of Amides – Acid and alkaline hydrolysis to carboxylic acids and ammonia/amines

5. Polyesters and Polyamides

  • Condensation Polymerisation – Understanding the formation of polyesters from dicarboxylic acids and diols, and polyamides from dicarboxylic acids and diamines
  • Applications – Terylene, nylon, Kevlar and their uses
