Carboxylic acids can also react with bases to form a salt and water in neutralisation reactions. When long chain 'fatty' acids are used, the salt formed is a soap. For example: ...

Carboxylic acids are ubiquitous in bioactive organic molecules and readily available chemical building blocks. Carboxylic ...

Photoactivated ketones show strong potential as hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysts, enabling the activation of carboxylic ...

Researchers report that carboxylic acids, functional groups contained in biomolecules, drugs, and materials can be readily modified by light-induced organic reactions using an aminocyclopropenone ...

This protocol describes the preparation of an N-methyl-asparagine-linked glycosyl amino acid, on the basis of a reaction between carboxylic acids and isonitriles. Under microwave/thermolysis ...

Amino acids are small molecules that are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins serve as structural support inside the cell and they perform many vital chemical reactions. Each protein is a ...

Figure 2. (Top) Adipic acid reacts with hexamethylenediamine to form an amide bond (red line), just like the reaction in Figure 1, but there's a big difference. The reaction product that I've called ...

Carminic acid is a naturally occurring organic molecule whose structure consists of 9,10-anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid “decorated” with a methyl group, a glucopyranose, and four hydroxyls. It is ...

In this practical you will compare the reactions of a carboxylic acid (ethanoic acid) with the reactions of hydrochloric acid. Back to top. Reaction 1: How to test the pH of carboxylic acid.
