Method of Preparation of
Aromatic Carboxylic Acid
Oxidation of Primary Alcohols and
Aldehydes
Primary aromatic alcohols can be oxidized to aromatic
carboxylic acid.

6
Hydrolysis of Nitriles

Hydrolysis of nitriles provide carboxylic acid.

7
Carbonation of Grignard Reagents

Reaction of grignard reagent with carbon dioxide can be used to


prepare aromatic carboxylic acid.

8
Oxidation of carbon side-chains

Oxidation of alkyl benzene using strong oxidizing agent give benzoic


acid.

9
Hydrolysis of Trichloromethyl group on
benzene nucleus
Benzotrichloride on hydrolysis yield benzoic acid.

10
Friedel-Craft Reaction

Benzene in presence of aluminium trichloride react with carbonyl


chloride give benzoyl chloride which on hydrolysis give benzoic acid.

11
Reactions of Aromatic
Carboxylic Acid
Esterification

Aromatic acids having no substituent in the ortho position to COOH group, are
readily converted into esters by direct reaction with alcohols in the presence of
mineral acids (HCl or H2SO4) as catalyst.

13
Esterification....

If, however, the ortho substituent is present, the rate of esterification is


considerably reduced.

When both ortho positions are occupied, esterification does not occur at all.

14
Anhydride Formation

The reaction of an aromatic acid chloride with sodium salt of the acid
yields the anhydride.

15
Acid Halide Formation

Aromatic acids are converted to the corresponding acid halides by heating


with phosphorus pentachloride or with thionyl chloride.
The aromatic acid chlorides are insoluble in water and react with it very
slowly. Hence alcohols, phenols and amines can be acylated in aqueous
solution. When the acylation reaction is carried in the presence of alkali
(NaOH), it is catalysed and the HCl formed in the reaction mixture is
removed. This is called Schotten Baumann Reaction.

16
Acid Halide Formation....

17
Acid Amide Formation

Aromatic acids form ammonium carboxylates which upon heating yield


acid amides.

In the presence of phosphorus pentoxide, amides further dehydrate to form


nitriles.

18
Decarboxylation

Aromatic acids are readily decarboxylated by heating their salts with


sodalime.

19
Reduction

Aromatic acids on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride give benzyl


alcohols in 80 to 99 percent yield.

20
Electrophilic Substitution in
Benzene Ring
Aromatic acids undergo electrophilic substitution reactions in the benzene
ring. The COOH group is meta director and the substitution takes place less
readily than in the parent hydrocarbon ring. For example, benzoic acid
undergoes halogenation, nitration and suiphonation giving m-chlorobenzoic
acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid and m-benzenesulphonic acid.

21
Electrophilic Substitution in
Benzene Ring.....

Benzoic acid undergoes nitration giving m-nitrobenzoic acid.
