Exploring the Unique Functional Properties of Carboxyl Groups in Organic Chemistry
How Carboxyl Groups Enhance Reactivity in Organic Compounds The carboxyl group, characterized by the functional formula -COOH, is one of the most significant and reactive groups found in organic chemistry. Its combination of a carbonyl (C=O) and a hydroxyl (O-H) functional group allows it to play a critical role in biochemical reactions, organic synthesis, and […]
