3. Learning outcomes Recall the functional group of a carboxylic acid and an ester Describe the solubility of carboxylic acids Explain why they react like acids Apply the rules of naming an ester to naming esters

4. Carboxylic acids A large number are found in nature, where they are often the cause of a sharp or sour taste

5. Ethanoic acid 2-Hydroxypropane-1,2,3- tricarboxylic acid Butonic acid 2-hydroxybutanedioic acid Methanoic acid 2-hydroxypropanoic cid

6. Bonding and acid reactions carboxylic bonding challenge.doc Carboxylic acids challenge2.doc

7. Esterification Reactants Carboxylic acid and alcohol Conditions Heat and concentrated H 2 SO 4

8. Naming esters Propanoic acid + ethanol  ethyl propanoate __________ + methanol  methyl pentanoate Butanoic acid + butanol  __________ + _______  propyl methanoate

9. Naming esters Make three rules for naming esters The alcohol stem comes at the start of the ester name; The acid stem provides the second part of the name The name of the ester usually ends with -anoate
