The reactivity sequence of carboxylic acid derivatives (acyl halides, anhydrides, acids, esters, amides) changes with the substituent. Acyl chlorides are most reactive, amides are least reactive. 1) Explain in detail why the reactivity changes in that sequence, 2) Where do carboxylates fit in that sequence and why? How does that impact on the way carboxylic acid reactions need to run? 3) Where do thioesters, RC(-O)SMe and acyl phosphates, RC(-O)OPO2OR fit in that sequence. Explain your decision

Paragraph Styles 6. ... 7 1. Why is an ester less reactive to nucleophilic acyl substitution than an acid chloride? A) Chloride is a better leaving group B) Oxygen is better at donating electron density into the carbonyl with added resonance stability. C) Chloride is a better leaving group and compared to chlorine, oxygen is better at donating electron density into the carbonyl with added resonance stability D) The alkoxy anion is less basic than the chloride anion. 2. What...

13. The generic resonance structures A and B can be drawn for all carboxylic acid derivatives, yet their contribution to the overall resonance hybrid differs for the derivatives. Explain why the contribution of resonance structure to the hybrid is: a. Poor for an acid chloride or bromide. b. Greater for an amide than an ester. 14. Listed are frequencies for the carbonyl stretching modes in each molecule's IR spectrum. Explain why one carbonyl absorbs IR at a higher frequency than...
