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....
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.

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.
