1. Carboxylic acids have the general formula RCOOH, with R representing a side chain and -COOH the carboxyl group. They are polar, have higher boiling points than water, and are weak acids. 2. The carboxyl group takes precedence in naming and is given the lowest possible number. Common names like methanoic acid are also acceptable. 3. Examples of carboxylic acid names are methanoic acid, hextanoic acid, and 3,4-methyloctanoic acid.

General Structure

JAM MAN
General Structure

 Carboxylic acids are organic compounds with a
general chemical formula of RCOOH. The R is a side
group made of carbon, hydrogen, and other atoms,
and -COOH is a carboxyl group.
Common Properties

 Brought to you by rave rave go away, come again
another day.
 They are polar substances and tend to have higher
boiling points than water. They are also weak acids,
and in general, they have distinct odors. Carboxylic
acids have many uses.
Naming

 1. The carboxyl group takes precedence over alkyl
groups and halogen substituents, as well as double
bonds, in the numbering of the parent chain.
 If the carboxyl group is attached to a ring the parent
ring is named and the suffix -carboxylic acid is
added.
Naming

 3. When both double bonds and carboxyl groups are
present, the -en suffix follows the parent chain
directly and the -oic acid suffix follows the -en suffix
(notice that the e is left off, -en instead of -ene). The
location of the double bond(s) is(are) indicated
before the parent name as before, and the -oic acid
suffix follows the -en suffix directly. Remember it is
not necessary to specify the location of the carboxyl
group because it will automatically be carbon #1. See
below for examples. Again, the carboxyl gets priority
in the numbering of the parent chain.
Naming

 4. There are several common names which are
acceptable as IUPAC names. They are shown in the
examples at the end of this list but at this point these
names will not be accepted by the computer.
Eventually they will be accepted.
 5. If there is a choice in numbering not previously
covered, the parent chain is numbered to give the
substituents the lowest number at the first point of
difference.
Examples

Examples

 To be explain by fantastic Goling:
1. methanoic acid
2. hextanoic acid
3. 3,4 – methyloctanoic acid
