Carboxylic acids are the organic compounds which comprise of carboxyl functional group, -COOH. These are generally found in nature, some higher members are known as fatty acids as they occur in natural fats as esters of glycerol. They can be prepared from oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes, hydrolysis of nitriles and amides and Grignard reagents. They are stronger acids than simple phenols and alcohols. but weaker than mineral acids. Substituents affect the acidity of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids. They undergo reactions involving cleavage of -OH and C-OH bond. Carboxylic acids having an alpha hydrogen get halogenated in the presence of red phosphorus to form alpha halo carboxylic acids. The reaction is known as Hell Volhard Zelinsky reaction. Besides these aromatic carboxylic acids undergo electrophilic substitution reactions. They are versatile and are employed in the manufacture of various useful compounds. For example, methanoic acid is used in rubber, textile, dyeing, leather and electroplating industries. Higher fatty acids are used in the manufacture of soaps and detergents. Esters of Benzoic acid are used in perfumery.

Carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids play an important role in the biochemical process of plants and animal kingdom.
Many aldehydes and ketones find applications in dye, perfumery and other industries.
The carbonyl carbon atom is \(s p^2\)-hybridized forming three sigma and one pi-bond with oxygen.
C-O bonds are polar bond due to high electronegativity of oxygen than carbon.
Hence the carbonyl carbon behaves as an electrophilic center and oxygen as a nucleophilic centre.
Primary and secondary alcohols yield aldehydes and ketones respectively upon oxidation with variety of oxidizing agents.
The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones differ from hydrocarbons and ethers.
Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction due to presence of electrophilic carbonyl carbon.
Nucleophile and a proton add across the carbon oxygen double bond.
The alcohol which cannot be used to prepare carbonyl compound through oxidation isCUET 2025 Easy
