Carboxylic Acids, Typical Acids and Esters Chemistry

: Carboxylic Acids carboxylic acid Carboxylic acids are weak acids They are more acidic than other molecules featuring the hydroxyl group, such as alcohols and phenol Their acidity depends on miracid The carbonyl stretch C=O of a carboxylic acid appears as an intense band from 1760-1690 cm-1 The exact position of this broad band depends on whether the

polylactic acid α-Oxidation of carboxylic acids is a powerful process for synthesizing the α-hydroxy and keto acids present in biologically active natural and
