Carboxylic ac...

Question

Carboxylic acid doesnot give reactions of carbonyl group?

Open in App

Solution

Yes. This is due to the lone pairs on oxygen atom attached to hydrogen atom in the -COOH group are involved in resonance and hence making the carbon atom less electrophilic. Hence, carboxylic acids do not give the reaction of carbonyl groups.
