Although carboxylic acids are readily available compounds, they are not very reactive towards nucleophilic acyl substitution because of their poor leaving group (hydroxide ion, a strong base). Thus, a variety of methods in the lab and in nature have been utilized to activate carboxylic acids, converting them into compounds with better leaving groups. Which of the following reagents/conditions could be used to activate a carboxylic acid?
A. SOCl2
B. DIBAL-H
C. ATP
D. Both A and B
E. Both A and C
To activate carboxylic acid SOCl2 and ATP is used. (E) is correct option. Both A and C is used.
