Class 12Chemistry8-2.Carboxylic acids and Their derivativeProperties of Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives
MediumStatement-$I$: Most carboxylic acids exist as dimers in vapour phase or in aprotic solvents due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Statement-$II$: Higher carboxylic acids are practically insoluble in water due to the increased hydrophobic interaction of the hydrocarbon part.

View SolutionWhen carboxylic acid reacts with organolithium reagents to give ketones,side reactions sometimes occur. For example,
$HOCH_2CH_2CH(CH_3)CH_2CH_2COOH$ $\xrightarrow[(x) \, CH_3Li]{tetrahydro\,furan}$ $\xrightarrow[NH_4Cl]{H_2O}$ $\underset{63\%}{\text{Compound } A: HOCH_2CH_2CH(CH_3)CH_2CH_2COCH_3}$ + $\underset{37\%}{\text{Compound } (B)}$
The value of $(x)$ in the above reaction is:
