Substituted acetic acids can be prepared in good yield (50–80%) from terminal acetylenes of the same chain length. The alkyne is first converted to the thiophenyl ether, which is treated without purification with mercuric sulfate in acetic acid and 2 N sulfuric acid affording the carboxylic acid. The method is particularly useful in the synthesis of long chain ω-hydroxyalkanoic acids.

The present work describing the electronic properties and vibrational characteristics of carboxylic acids. Acetic acid is chosen as model molecules then optimized at B3LYP/6-31g(d,p) level of theory. The vibrational frequencies were calculated at the same level of theory. Band assignments which were calculated as 18 normal modes were assigned as one compare the normal mode coordinates with original one. Band assignments were described indicating the directions of normal modes in terms the vibrating atoms of the acetic acids. It could be concluded that DFT could be a useful tool for elucidation both the structural and vibrational features of carboxylic acids and then further utilized for assignment of the structures contains carboxyl groups which are known as most reactive structures in chemistry, biology and environment.

Treatment of methyl hydrogen decahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a,8a-dicarboxylate with lead tetraacetate in benzene – acetic acid replaces the carboxyl group by an acetoxy group. Hydrolysis of this product with 25% sulfuric acid at 130 °C forms 8a-hydroxydecahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a-carboxylic acid 10. The reaction between 10 and benzenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine containing triethylamine at 95 °C produces anti-sesquinorbornene 1 in 34% yield. In the absence of triethylamine 1 is converted to the hydrochloride. The iodohydroperoxide of 1 is converted by silver acetate at 0 °C to the diketone in a luminescent reaction. The 1,2-dioxetane could not be isolated. Decahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,exo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a,8a-dicarboxylic anhydride is converted slowly by methoxide ion in methanol at 150 °C to the monomethyl ester which then undergoes demethylation. The isomeric exo,endo anhydride undergoes reaction readily with methoxide ion at 80 °C.

The sulfuric acid catalyzed acylation of 2-methyl-5-nitroisocarbostyril with carboxylic acid anhydrides gave the corresponding 4-acylated derivatives 3, which underwent reductive cyclization to 2-substituted derivatives of 4-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[4.3.2.de]isoquinolin-5-one (4). Alkaline hydrolysis of the six-membered lactam in 4 was accompanied by a retro-Mannich reaction to produce 2-substituted indole-4-carboxylic acids in about 40 % overall yield from 3.

SummaryA second method for the synthesis of 8-bromo-3-methoxyfluoranthene from 2-bromo-7-methoxyfluorene is described. The autoxidation of fluorene derivatives including the 9-carboxylic acids and of related compounds, particularly 4-α-cyanobenzyl-7−oxo-7H-benz[de]anthracene, is discussed. Unsuccessful attempts to prepare 3-bromofluorene-9-acetic acid in good yield are reported.

α-Hydroxyisovaleric acid (Ac-Hiv) and α-acetyloxyisovaleric acid (Ac-Hiv) have been successfully synthesized through a diazotisation of amino acid using sodium nitrite with the catalyst of sulfuric acid and acetic acid, respectively. In the synthesis of Hiv, Zubia et al. (2005) mentioned that 3 equivalents of sodium nitrite for the reaction gave the hydroxy acid with a good yield. However, Cohen-Arazi et al. (2008) described that 6 equivalents of sodium nitrite resulted the highest yield. In present study, a variation of equivalents of sodium nitrite (3, 4, 5, 6 eq.) were trialed for the same method of synthesis. Through several experiments, we found that 6 equivalents of sodium nitrite were the best portion among all. This finding was applied into the synthesis of protected Hiv (Ac-Hiv) that was previously reported by Maharani et al. (2017) giving 63% yield when 3 equivalent of sodium nitrite was employed. By increasing the equivalent of sodium nitrite into 6 equivalents, the Ac-Hiv can be synthesized with an improved yield (71%).

Interaction of 6-amino-1-ethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic ester (7) with chloral hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave the corresponding isonitroso-acetamido derivative 8 which, upon treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid, was converted regioselectively into 1,2,9-trioxopyrrolo[ 3,2- f ]quinoline-8-carboxylic acid (3). This novel tricyclic system was isolated in good yield as a stable hydrate 3H. Structural assignments of the new compounds are based on microanalytical and spectral (MS and NMR) data

The cocrystal adducts of a number of carboxylic acids with organic heterocyclic bases have been prepared, and their structures and intermolecular interactions interpreted through X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of three of these compounds, the 1 : 1 adducts [{(2,4-dich1orophenoxy)acetic acid)(3-hydroxypyridine)] (1), [(2,4,6-trinitrobenzoie acid)(2-aminopyrimidine)] (2), and [(4-nitrobenzoic acid)(3-amino- 1,2,4-trimole)] (3), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to residuals R 0.026, 0.033 and 0.040 for 1814, 1531 and 727 observed reflections, respectively.
