20.1 Naming Carboxylic Acids and Acid Derivatives | Organic Chemistry
TLDRThis video script offers a detailed lesson on the nomenclature of carboxylic acids and their derivatives, including acid halides, anhydrides, esters, amides, and nitriles. The focus is on naming these functional groups as the highest priority within a molecule. The lesson begins with the naming of carboxylic acids, emphasizing their anchor at the end of the carbon chain, and provides examples such as propanoic acid and acetic acid. It then covers the naming conventions for anhydrides, distinguishing between symmetric and asymmetric cases. Esters are described with a focus on the alkyl group attached to the oxygen and the conjugate base of the carboxylic acid. Acid halides, amides, and nitriles are also discussed, with attention to the naming specifics for each. The script provides clear examples and common names for better understanding, making it an engaging and informative resource for students of organic chemistry.
Takeaways
- 📝 When naming carboxylic acids and their derivatives, they are considered the highest priority functional group in the molecule.
- 🔡 For carboxylic acids, the carboxyl carbon is always carbon number one and is anchored to the end of the carbon chain.
- 🧪 Common names for three, two, and four carbon carboxylic acids are propionic, acetic, and butyric acid, respectively.
- 🔁 Acid anhydrides are formed by removing water (H and OH) from two carboxylic acid molecules and are named based on the acids they are composed of.
- ⚖️ Asymmetric anhydrides have two different carboxylic acids, while symmetric anhydrides are made from the same acid, named only once.
- 🍾 Esters are named with two words: the alkyl group attached to the oxygen and the conjugate base of the carboxylic acid.
- 🔵 Acid halides, or acyl halides, are named by numbering the longest carbon chain and using the suffix 'oyl' followed by 'chloride' or 'bromide'.
- 💧 Amides are named with the suffix 'amide' and can be primary (one carbon attached to nitrogen) or secondary (additional carbons attached to nitrogen).
- 🔄 Substituted amides are named with the substituent in front and the position indicated by a number.
- 🚫 Nitrogen as a chain locator is used when an alkyl group is attached to the nitrogen in a secondary amide.
- ⚫ Nitriles are named by including the CN triple bond in the carbon chain and using the suffix 'nitrile'.
Q & A
What are the derivatives of carboxylic acids mentioned in the transcript?
-The derivatives of carboxylic acids mentioned include acid halides (such as acid chlorides and bromides), acid anhydrides, esters, amides, and nitriles.
What is the priority of the carboxylic acid group when naming molecules?
-When naming carboxylic acids and their derivatives, the carboxylic acid group is considered the highest priority functional group in the molecule.
What is the common name for a three-carbon carboxylic acid?
-The common name for a three-carbon carboxylic acid is propionic acid.
How is a carboxylic acid attached to a ring named?
-A carboxylic acid directly attached to a ring is named by adding the prefix 'cyclo' to the name of the corresponding alkane, followed by 'carboxylic acid'. For example, 'cyclopentane carboxylic acid'.
How are acid anhydrides named?
-Acid anhydrides are named based on the carboxylic acids they are composed of, listed in alphabetical order, followed by the word 'anhydride'. For symmetrical anhydrides, the name of the carboxylic acid is used only once.
What is the first word in the name of an ester?
-The first word in the name of an ester is the name of the alkyl group attached to the oxygen in the ester functional group.
How is the second part of an ester named?
-The second part of an ester is named as the conjugate base of the carboxylic acid from which it is derived, with the suffix 'ate' replacing the 'ic' or 'oic' in the acid name.
What is the suffix used for naming acid halides?
-The suffix used for naming acid halides is 'oyl halide', where 'halide' is replaced with 'chloride' or 'bromide' depending on the halogen present.
How are amides named?
-Amides are named by using the name of the corresponding alkane with the suffix 'amide'. If there is a substituent on the nitrogen, it is indicated with the prefix 'N-methyl' or similar, depending on the alkyl group present.
What is the suffix used for naming nitriles?
-The suffix used for naming nitriles is 'nitrile', without any change to the name of the alkane from which it is derived.
What is the significance of the 'cyano' group in nitriles?
-The 'cyano' group in nitriles is a carbon-nitrogen triple bond, which is the characteristic functional group of nitriles and is often represented by the prefix 'cyano-'.
How can one access additional study materials and practice problems on naming carboxylic acids and their derivatives?

🎓 Introduction to Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives Nomenclature
This paragraph introduces the topic of naming carboxylic acids and their derivatives, which include acid halides (chlorides and bromides), anhydrides, esters, amides, and nitriles. It emphasizes that these will be named with the highest priority as the functional group in the molecule. The video is part of an organic chemistry playlist released weekly throughout the school year. The naming convention starts with carboxylic acids, which are always anchored to the end of the chain, with the carboxyl carbon as carbon number one. Common names for acids with two to four carbons are also mentioned (acetic, propionic, and butyric acid). A special case is presented for carboxylic acids directly attached to a ring, exemplified by cyclopentane carboxylic acid. The paragraph concludes with the introduction of acid anhydrides, which are formed by the removal of water from two carboxylic acids, and their naming convention based on the constituent acids in alphabetical order.
🧩 Nomenclature of Esters, Acid Halides, and Amides
The second paragraph delves into the nomenclature of esters, explaining that they are named based on the alkyl group attached to the oxygen and the carboxylic acid from which they are derived. It illustrates the process with examples, such as ethyl 3-methyl butanoate, and highlights the difference in naming substituents on the parent chain versus those attached to the functional group. Acid halides, also known as acyl halides, are then discussed, with a focus on how to number the longest chain and the suffix 'oil' for such derivatives, as demonstrated with propanol chloride and bromide. Amides are next, with the paragraph explaining the naming convention for primary amides, such as propanamide, and secondary amides, where an alkyl group is attached to the nitrogen, necessitating the use of 'N-methyl' as a chain locator. The paragraph concludes with a brief mention of nitriles, characterized by a carbon-nitrogen triple bond, and their naming based on the longest continuous chain, with the suffix 'nitrile'.
📚 Conclusion and Additional Resources
The final paragraph serves as a conclusion to the lesson, encouraging viewers to like and share the video to help other students access the content. It also directs those interested in further study materials or practice problems to the instructor's premium course, which is available at chatsprep.com. This paragraph acts as a call to action, aiming to expand the reach of the educational material and offering additional resources for deeper understanding and practice in naming carboxylic acids and their derivatives.
