Chapter 17.14, Problem 30P

What carboxylic acid formed from each alkyl halide on treatment with [1] Mg ;[2] CO 2 ; [3] H 3 O + .

a. Chapter 17.14, Problem 30P, What carboxylic acid formed from each alkyl halide on treatment with 1 Mg;2CO2; 3 H3O+. a.b. c. , example 1 b. c.

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.
