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).
Carboxylic groups are acidic and when we treat them with strong base (like your classic sodium hydroxide) we can deprotonate them to form (COO-). Amino acids, because they contain both a basic amine group and an acidic carboxylic group, can act as either an acid or a base. 6 people found this useful.
