In chemistry, the term is sometimes used in place of carboxylation, which refers to the formation of carboxylic acids. In inorganic chemistry and geology, carbonation is common. Metal hydroxides (MOH) and metal oxides (M'O) react with CO 2 to give bicarbonates and carbonates: MOH + CO 2 → M(HCO 3) M'O + CO 2 → M'CO 3
An illustrative synthesis is the reaction of a cationic iron carbonyl with a stoichiometric amount of base: [2] [(C 5 H 5)(CO) 2 FeCO]BF 4 + NaOH → [(C 5 H 5)(CO) 2 FeCO 2 H + NaBF 4. When applied to simple metal carbonyls, this kind of conversion is sometimes called the Hieber base reaction. Decarboxylation of the resulting anion gives the ...
The latter is consistent with the pK a ’s of carbonic acid: pK 1 = 6.77 and pK 2 = 9.93. To a single metal ion, carbonate is observed to bind in both unidentate (κ 1-) and bidentate (κ 2-) fashions. [5] In the covalent bond classification method, κ 1-carbonate is anX ligand and κ 2-carbonate is an X 2 ligand.
Attempts to prepare some carboxylate complexes, especially for electrophilic metals, often gives oxo derivatives. Examples include the oxo-acetates of Fe(III), Mn(III), and Cr(III). Pyrolysis of metal carboxylates affords acid anhydrides and the metal oxide. This reaction explains the formation of basic zinc acetate from anhydrous zinc diacetate.
Metals in the middle of the reactivity series, such as iron, will react with acids such as sulfuric acid (but not water at normal temperatures) to give hydrogen and a metal salt, such as iron(II) sulfate: Fe (s) + H 2 SO 4 (l) → FeSO 4 (aq) + H 2 (g) There is some ambiguity at the borderlines between the groups.
Ferrous carbonate can be prepared by reacting solution of the two ions, such as iron(II) chloride and sodium carbonate: [5]. FeCl 2 + Na 2 CO 3 → FeCO 3 + 2 NaCl. Ferrous carbonate can be prepared also from solutions of an iron(II) salt, such as iron(II) perchlorate, with sodium bicarbonate, releasing carbon dioxide: [6]
The Koch reaction is an organic reaction for the synthesis of tertiary carboxylic acids from alcohols or alkenes and carbon monoxide.Some commonly industrially produced Koch acids include pivalic acid, 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid. [1]
As an example, electrolysis of acetic acid yields ethane and carbon dioxide: CH 3 COOH → CH 3 COO − → CH 3 COO· → CH 3 · + CO 2 2CH 3 · → CH 3 CH 3. Another example is the synthesis of 2,7-dimethyl-2,7-dinitrooctane from 4-methyl-4-nitrovaleric acid: [3] The Kolbe reaction has also been occasionally used in cross-coupling reactions.
