Carboxylic acids
Their functional group is the carboxyl group –CO
OH
NomenclatureThe systematic IUPAC names consist of the of a correspondinghydrocarbon, in which the final –e is replaced with the suffix–oic (–dioic for dicarboxylic) and the word acid. When the carboxyl group is attached to a ring, the ending–carboxylic acid is added to the name of the parent structure.
Many carboxylic acids have common names.
Examples:
CH2=CH–COOH
propenoic acid(acrylic acid) benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid
(phthalic acid)
HOOC–CH2-CH2–COOH
butandioic acid(succinic acid)

General properties and types of carboxylic acids
Acidity and forming salts
Carboxylic acid derivatives that are no more acids, because the hydroxyl group of the carboxyl is replacedor changed (sometimes called "functional" derivatives):
– acyl halides – acid anhydrides – esters – amides – nitriles (derived from amides)
Carboxylic acids may undergo elimination of CO2 from the carboxyl group – decarboxylation
Carboxylic acids may have other functional groups attached in the carbon chain (substituted acids)
– hydroxy acids – keto acids and aldehydoacids – amino acids – halo carboxylic acids, etc.

Carboxylic acid derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives are compounds in which thehydroxyl part of the carboxyl group is replaced by other groups.
All acid derivatives – comprise acyl (or aroyl) group, – are no more acidic, – can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid.

EstersEsters are derived from acids by replacing the hydroxyl group ofcarboxyl by an alkoxy group –O-R (or a phenoxy group –O-Ar).
Catalytic amount of a strong acid is required. However, esterifications catalyzed by enzymes utilize other mechanisms.
Esters of carboxylic acids can be formed by condensation of an acid andan alcohol or phenol. The reaction is called esterification:

Triacylglycerols (fats and edible oils) are esters of glyceroland long-chain fatty acids. When hydrolyzed with bases, theygive glycerol and soaps (alkali salts of fatty acids).
Glycerophospholipids are derivatives of phosphatidic acid(a diacylglycerol esterified with phosphoric acid).
Waxes (e.g. beeswax, spermaceti) are esters of higher aliphaticalcohols and long-chain fatty acids.

play important roles in acyl-transfer reactionsin the cells. Acyls bound to the sulfanyl groupin the form of thioester are activated (thosethioesters are high-energy compounds).
Acetyl coenzyme A is the key intermediate in catabolism of nutrients, the acetyl of which is broken down to CO2 in the citrate cycle. Coenzyme A is a complex nucleotide with the sulfanyl group able to bind acyls of fatty acids in the course of β-oxidation, too.
Lipoic acid is a disulfide that oxidizes acetaldehyde and transfers the resulting acetyl (as acetyl dihydrolipoic acid) to coenzyme A in the course of oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate.
14
AmidesAmides are the least reactive from the common carboxylic acid derivatives.They are derived from acids by replacing the hydroxyl group of carboxylby an amino group –NH2 (or alkylated –NH-R and aromatic –NH-Ar).
Acids with ammonia or amines form (at room temperature) ammonium oralkylammonium salts. By heating these salts, water is eliminated and amides can be prepared:
ammonium salt of an acid(alkylammonium carboxylate)

The basicity of amines is lost by formation of amide bonds, because the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom is conjugated with the π bonding electron pair (existence of resonance hybrids). The free rotation round the C-N bond of amidesis restricted, amide bonds have a planar geometry.
Amides are non-electrolytes, not basic compounds.
Amino acids contain both functional groups required for amideformation. If the amino group is attached to γ or δ carbon atom, it may react with carboxyl to form an cyclic intramolecular amide calledlactam:

Amides occur widely in nature.
The most common amides are peptides and proteins.A peptide bond is an amide bond between the carboxyl groupof one amino acid and the α-amino group of another amino acid.
Amides of biological importance are also standardamino acids asparagine and glutamine,sphingolipids (N-acylated aminoalcoholssphingosines), nicotinamide (a vitamin, PPF),amino sugars (all of them are N-acylated),urea, etc.

Carbonic acid H2CO3 may also be viewed as a carboxylic acid:
It is a very labile compound that exists only in aqueous solution and decomposes rapidlyinto CO2 and water.
Derivatives, in which one of the hydroxyl group is replaced, retain the lability of carbonic acid.Carbamic acid, a monoamide, isnot stabile. Its mixed anhydridewith H3PO4, carbamoyl phosphate,is the high-energy intermediate of the biosynthesis of urea and pyrimidinebases.

urea
Urea (carbamide) is the diamide of carbonic acid, the normal end product of protein metabolism in mammals.
A colourless, water-soluble, crystalline solid.It is present in all human biological fluids and excretedinto the urine (approximately 20 – 30 g per day). Like other amides, urea is a neutral compound; whenheated with solutions of strong acids or hydroxides, urea
is hydrolyzed to carbon dioxide and ammonia (or an ammonium salt):
CO(NH2)2 + H2O CO2 + 2 NH3
Some alkyl carbamates are effective insecticides,others are extremely toxic. They inhibit the enzymeacetylcholine esterase and, therefore, certain carbamatesof low toxicity are utilized in medicine (e.g. neostigmine).Polyurethanes are very useful as either polyurethanefoam, stretchable fibres, or very tough materials.

For a weak acidity of barbituric acid, the hydroxyl group of thetautomeric lactim form is responsible.
Derivatives of barbituric acid obtained by substitution in position 5,commonly called barbiturates, have the pronounced sedative andhypnotic effect. Nowadays, barbiturates administered orally are used rather exceptionally; pentothal injected intravenously as general anaesthetics is still in use.

Unlike neutral urea, guanidine is nearly a strong base;guanidinium cation, binding a proton, is stabilized by resonance energy (existence of resonance hybrids.
Creatine slowly eliminates waterto give creatinine – a waste productthat is excreted into the urine.
Arginine (2-amino-5-guanidinopentanoic acid) is a basic amino acid. It may be hydrolyzed to urea and ornithine,
it also supplies the carbimidoyl group for the synthesis of creatine, and the imino group gives nitroxide •NO by oxidation,
Creatine, when phosphorylated, serves as a stock of high-energy phosphate group in skeletal muscles.

Substituted carboxylic acids
In the molecules of substituted carboxylic acids, there isat least one functional group another in addition to carboxyl.
From a biochemical point of view, the most interestingsubstituted acids are
hydroxycarboxylic acids (including the phenolic acids),
aldehydo and keto acids, and
amino acids.
22
Hydroxycarboxylic acidsIn addition to one or more carboxylic groups, hydroxy acidscomprise alcoholic or phenolic groups in their molecules.
Hydroxy acids present – the properties of acids (i.e. acidity, formation of salts, esters, amides, etc.),
– the properties of alcohols or phenols (i.e. formation of ethers, esters, hemiacetals,
they can be oxidized to carbonyl compounds),
– and a capability for being dehydrated easily by heating.
The position of substituents is expressed either in numerical locants(mostly in systematic names of acids), or in Greek letters (only when thetrivial names of acid are used).

Amino acidsThe common name amino acids can be assigned to all carboxylicacids that comprise also an amino group.In biochemistry, the term amino acid is usually understood as the group name ofonly twenty standard (i.e. coded, proteinogenic) α-amino acids.
The following passage will deal with quite general properties of thebroad group of amino acids.
Amino acids present – the properties of acids (i.e. acidity, formation of carboxylate salts with bases, esters, amides, etc.),
– the properties of amines (i.e. basicity, formation of ammonium salts with acids, alkylation till the formation of tetraalkylammonium cations, acylation to amides, formation of Schiff bases with carbonyl compounds),
– independent ionization of their basic and acidic groups, and
– a capability for elimination of water or ammonia by heating.
32
When dehydrated by heating, they behave similarly to hydroxy acids:
– two molecules of α-amino acids lose two molecules of water andand form cyclic 2,5-dioxo-1,4-piperazines;
– β-amino acids readily eliminate ammonia giving an α,β-unsaturated acid:

p-Aminobenzoic acid and its derivatives
p-aminobenzoic acidPABA
sulfanilamide(p-aminobenzenesulfonamide)
p-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is an essential growth factorof bacteria required for the biosynthesis of folic acid. Folic acid actsas the cofactor in the transfer of one-carbon units in all livingorganisms. In mammals, it has to be supplied in the food. .
Approximately seventy years ago, it was discoveredby accident that sulfanilamide was an effectiveantibacterial agent. A huge amount of its variousanalogs called sulfa drugs were prepared. Eventoday some of them are still useful, although in manyinstances they have been replaced by more effectivean safer antibiotics.Sulfa drugs act by competitive inhibiting of the enzyme,which incorporates PABA into folate in the course ofthe folate biosynthesis, because they have similarstructure and shape, in part. .

Some derivatives of PABA used in medicine (examples):
The homologue of PABA,p-aminomethylbenzoic acid (abbr. PAMBA)inhibits the proteolysis of fibrin and sosupport to stop bleeding.
Esters of PABA are useful local anaesthetics. Benzocaine is nonpolar,insoluble in water, can be applied only in ointments.Procaine is soluble in acids, is usually injected to infiltrate the tissue.A widely used drug in stomatology and surgery.

The citric acid cycleis a terminal catabolic pathway, in which acetyl (in the form ofcoenzyme A) is oxidized to two molecules of carbon dioxide.
The overall result may be written in the simplified form as
CH3-COOH + 2 H2O 2 CO2 + 8 H* + energy
The eight atoms of hydrogen are released as four molecules of reducedcoenzymes (3 NADH+H+ and 1 FADH2), the energetic yield is utilizedfor synthesis of one molecule of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) from GDP.

Amines
Amines are organic compounds derived from ammonia byreplacing hydrogen atoms of ammonia with organic groups.Amines are the most important type of organic base thatoccurs in nature.
Amines are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary,depending on the number of organic groups (alkyls oraryls) attached to the nitrogen atom.

General properties of amines
Basic character of amines due to the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom.
Nucleophilic atom of nitrogen enables
– alkylation of amines to secondary, tertiary amines and to quaternary tetraalkylammonium cations,
– acylation of amines to amides (reaction with acids)
– reaction with carbonyl compounds, primary amines give imines (Schiff bases).
Primary and secondary amines react with nitrous acid.

Solvents for degreasing or dry-cleaningchloroform CHCl3, trilene ClHC=CCl2,tetrachloromethane CCl4 (very toxic!)
Refrigerants – chlorofluorocarbons (CFC´s, Freons) – harmful for theozone layer in the stratosphere; restrictions exist, especiallyfor "hard" ones (abandoned as propellants in aerosol dispensers)
Polymers – PVC, Teflon, chloroprene, neoprene
Plasticizers – polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB´s, Arochlor)
Halogen compoundsHalogen compounds (organic halides) are mostly nonpolar molecules,in spite of the bond C–Hal is polar.Simple halides are used as alkylating agents for syntheses ofalcohols, ethers, amines, and nitriles.
Organic halides enjoy extensive use as
2,2',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB)
