So you'll need to get a rough estimate - the first step in figuring out if you can afford the kind of house you're fantasizing about. Start by talking with general contractors or home-building consultants in your area. If you decide to go for a custom home, you'll need to interview firms anyway to assist you.
Carboxylic derivatives are described as compounds that can be converted to carboxylic acids via simple acidic or. basic hydrolysis. The most important acid derivatives are esters, amides and nitriles, although acid halides and anhydrides are also. derivatives (really activated forms of a carboxylic acid).
All the reactions and compounds covered in this section will yield Carboxylic Acids on hydrolysis, and thus are known as Carboxylic Acid Derivatives. Hydrolysis is one example of Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution, which is a very important two step mechanism that is common in all reactions that will be covered here.
