Carboxylic acids can also react with amides to give polyamides (polymers). The same is true with esters and alcohols. Read on lactomer and how it is used for stitches that can dissolve overtime. Why do lactomer stitches dissolve within 2 to 3 weeks following surgery? Refer to the photo below.
Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. ROH, H+ OH OR Aldehyde/ketone Alcohol ROH, H+ Draw the structural formulas for the hemiacetal and the acetal formed between the following compounds: OH OH OR OR • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. + H₂O
Kinetics and thermodynamics  H+ catatylzes the esterification reaction of alcohols with carboxylic acids. Describe at least two ways the addition of H+ can increase the rate of the reaction. based on the image
