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).
Therefore an acid chloride is easily converted into an anhydride, ester or amide, but an amide can only be. hydrolyzed to a carboxylic acid. Ch21 Carboxylic acid Derivatives(landscape).doc Page 17. A carboxylic acid is converted to an acid chloride (most reactive derivative) by thionyl chloride.
