| This means that telomer alcohols are unlikely to degrade to carboxylic acids in city air. |
| As has already been stated oxidation yields the aldhyde methanal, but further oxidation of this will yield the carboxylic acid methanoic acid. |
| In a chemical sense, soap is a salt made up of a carboxylic acid and an alkali like sodium of potassium. |
| Carboxyl groups can also react with alkali metal bases such as sodium hydroxide to form water-soluble carboxylic salts. |
| The carboxylic acid group of the drug is first reacted with an activated carbonyl group like that found on isobutyl chloroformate. |
| In a haloform reaction with iodine, bromine, or chlorine, methyl ketones are converted into the corresponding carboxylic acid and haloform. |
