Carboxylic acids are ordinarily named as though seldom used,. IUPAC-recommended names also exist. For instance, butanoic acid (C3H7CO2H) is in keeping with IUPAC tips additionally called butyric acid. To more simply understand abundant of the below discussion of reactions involving carboxyl acids it may be useful to note that the radical itself could be a "hydroxylated carbonyl group" which means that 2 of the carbon atoms four bonds area unit to associate degree atomic number 8 atom, the carbon atom's third bond is to a second atomic number 8 atom (whose different bond is to a element atom) and also the carbon atom's fourth bond attaches to R. A atom double bonded to associate degree atomic number 8 atom could be a carbonyl group and two of the carbon atom's bonds stay available for bonding.
