Diazomethane is a toxic yellow gas that is both sensitive and explosive. However, it is a useful reagent in the laboratory to make key intermediates by reacting with carboxylic acids in a quick and clean reaction. Draw the expected organic product of diazomethane with the carboxylic acid. Draw hydrogens on the oxygen and nitrogen atoms, where applicable. OH HAC-NEN - он,



Answer :

Carboxylic acids react with diazomethane to form methyl esters.

Diazomethane is highly reactive and instantly reacts with carboxylic acid and methyl ester at room temperature without a catalyst. A carboxylic acid is an organic compound containing a carboxyl functional group. They are ubiquitous in nature and are synthetically produced by humans.

Upon deprotonation, carboxylic acids yield carboxylate anions of the general formula R-COO- which can form a variety of useful salts such as soaps. Using the definition of acid as a substance that donates a proton to another carboxylic acid is acidic because of the hydrogen in the -COOH group. Move to water molecules.
