Question

Carboxylic acids, such as the one shown below, can be difficult to reduce

Provide the name of a reductant A. Explain why this reductant is able to react with the carboxylic acid whereas others cannot (Hint: Draw and discuss the potential reactive intermediates/transition states).

Definition Definition Class of organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group ( - COOH ) and has a general formula R - COOH or R - CO 2 H , where R refers to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other groups. They can undergo different chemical reactions, such as acid-base reactions, esterification, and oxidation. These are essential components of living organisms, playing important roles in metabolic processes, signaling, and as pharmaceuticals.
