Question

preparation of carboxylic acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

The hydrolysis of nitriles, which are organic molecules containing a cyano group, leads to carboxylic acid formation. These hydrolysis reactions can take place in either acidic or basic solutions. The mechanism for these reactions involves the formation of an amide followed by hydrolysis of the amide to the acid.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oxidation. 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)
