Carboksüülhappes
Carboxylic acids are organic compounds that contain one or more carboxyl functional groups. The carboxyl group consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH). This combination gives carboxylic acids their characteristic acidic properties. The general formula for a monocarboxylic acid is R-COOH, where R represents an alkyl or aryl group.
The acidity of carboxylic acids arises from the resonance stabilization of their conjugate base, the carboxylate
Carboxylic acids are found in nature and play vital roles in biological systems. For example, acetic acid
Industrially, carboxylic acids are used in the production of polymers, plasticizers, solvents, and pharmaceuticals. They can
