Carboxylic acids (R–COOH) are characterized by a highly polar carboxyl group, often forming hydrogen-bonded dimers and exhibiting relatively high boiling points. They are acidic due to resonance stabilization of the carboxylate anion (R–COO–). They’re central in biochemistry (e.g., amino acids, fatty acids) and are building blocks in polymer manufacture (nylon, polyester). Reactions include esterification, reduction, and salt formation.
