Question

Different methods of preparation of carboxylic acid

Answer 1

Answer:

The oxidation of primary alcohols is a common method for the synthesis of carboxylic acids: RCH2OH → RCOOH. This requires a strong oxidizing agent, the most common being chromic acid (H2CrO4), potassium permanganate (KMnO4), and nitric acid (HNO3).

Answer 2

Method of preparation of carboxylic acid.

1. The carboxylic acid formation is possible by Grignard reagents reaction.
2. The reaction of Grignard reagents with crushed dry ice or solid carbon dioxide leads to the formation of salts of carboxylic acids.
3. The preparation techniques help in the conversion of alkyl halides into the respective carboxylic acids.
