Chapter 21 (part 1) - Structure and properties of carboxylic acid derivatives. This chapter draw and name carboxylic acid derivatives, and use spectral information to determine their structures; describe the trends in physical properties of acid derivatives, and compare the relative reactivity of esters, thioesters, amides, nitriles, anhydrides, and acid chlorides; propose single-step and multistep syntheses of acid derivatives from compounds containing other functional groups.
