The oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids is an important industrial reaction used in the synthesis of bulk and fine chemicals. Most current processes are performed by making use of either ...

Oxidation reactions involve the process where a substance, for example an alcohol, undergoes a chemical change to form a more oxidised product, such as an aldehyde or carboxylic acid. To oxidise ...

Carboxylic Acid: The carbonyl compounds in which carbon of carbonyl group is bonded to carbon or hydrogen and oxygen of hydroxyl moiety (-OH) are known as carboxylic acids. These acids play an ...

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.

A facile and efficient method for esterification and amidation of carboxylic acids under neutral conditions has been developed. Esters and amides can be prepared by reacting a carboxylic acid (1 mmol) ...

Carboxylic acids, also known as alkanoic acids, all contain the carboxyl functional group –COOH. Their names all end in '–oic acid'. Carboxylic acids can be represented by the general formula ...
