• Carboxylic acids exhibit dipole-dipole interactions because they have polar C—O and O—H bonds.
• They also exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
• In the gas phase and in apolar solvents, carboxylic acids often exist as dimers held together by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

• Basic hydrolysis of an ester is also called saponification.
• Hydrolysis is base promoted, not base catalyzed, because the base (OH–) is the nucleophile that adds to the ester and forms part of the product. It participates in the reaction and is not regenerated later.

Soap is prepared by the basic hydrolysis or saponification of a triacylglycerol. Heating an animal fat or vegetable oil with aqueous base hydrolyzes the three esters to form glycerol and sodium salts of three fatty acids. These carboxylate salts are soaps.

The mechanism of amide hydrolysis is exactly the same as the mechanism of ester hydrolysis.
Amide hydrolysis is hard in acid because the nucleophile (H2O) and the electrophile (amide) are poor. Amide hydrolysis is hard in base because the electrophile and the leaving group (NR2-) are poor.

Acid chlorides, anhydrides and esters are reduced to 1ry alcohols by Al hydrides, e.g. LiAlH4 A two-step reaction:
1.Nucleophilic acyl substitution
2.Nucleophilic addition

• LiAlH4 is a strong reducing agent that reduces acids, acid chlorides, anhydrides and esters to primary alcohols.
• Diisobutylaluminum hydride ([(CH3)2CHCH2]2AlH, abbreviated DIBAL-H, has two bulky isobutyl groups which makes this reagent less reactive than LiAlH4.
• DIBAL-H reduces acid chlorides, anhydrides and esters to aldehydes.
