Question

Why carboxylic acids do not give characteristic reactions of carbonyl group

Open in App

Solution

Caboxylic acid contains R-COOH type structure, in which, due to –COOH group, it is acidic in nature i.e. H⁺ ion, can be easily released due to high polarity between –O-H bond. Such type of nature and bond fission can be observed in other compounds like carbonyl group.
