    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

    In organic chemistry, an acetyl group is a functional group denoted by the chemical formula −COCH 3 and the structure −C(=O)−CH 3. It is sometimes represented by the symbol Ac [5] [6] (not to be confused with the element actinium). In IUPAC nomenclature, an acetyl group is called an ethanoyl group.

    At room temperature, acetaldehyde (H 3 CC(O)H) is more stable than vinyl alcohol (H 2 C=CHOH) by 42.7 kJ/mol. [3] Vinyl alcohol gas isomerizes to the aldehyde with a half-life of 30 min at room temperature. [1] H 2 C=CHOH → H 3 CC(O)H The industrial synthesis of acetaldehyde (Wacker process) proceeds via the intermediacy of a vinyl alcohol ...
