Carboxylic acids can carry out the same reactions as other acids, for example the reactions with metals and metal carbonate. Carboxylic acids are weak acids, and will react more slowly than other, ...

Researchers report that carboxylic acids, functional groups contained in biomolecules, drugs, and materials can be readily modified by light-induced organic reactions using an aminocyclopropenone.

This protocol describes the preparation of an N-methyl-asparagine-linked glycosyl amino acid, on the basis of a reaction between carboxylic acids and isonitriles. Under microwave/thermolysis, ...
