Unit 8 - Carbonyls: Carboxylic acids and Amines

Objectives:

Be able to write chemical reaction equations to illustrate what happens when organic acids are placed in water or react with bases.
Be able to compare the physical properties of carboxylic acids with those their corresponding carboxylate salts.
Be able to predict the products of the decarboxation of α and β keto acids
Be able to predict the products of an oxidative decarboxylation of an α-keto acid and be able to identify the coenzymes involved when these reactions are carried out in living systems.
Be able to draw and name the structures of simple amines and be able to predict their physical properties relative to other function groups.
Be able to write the chemical reaction equations to illustrate what happes when organic mines are placed in water or react with acids
Be able to draw the ionic forms of organic acids and bases that predominate under physiological conditions (pH 7)
