Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
What are common reaction types of carboxylic acids and ester? Illustrate with suitable examples.
Concept introduction:
The carboxylic acids have a COOH group and ester has a COOR group, these can be reduced to carbonyl compounds or alcohols by suitable reducing agents. The group can be removed by decarboxylation.
