This sheet covers reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives through nucleophilic acyl substitution mechanisms. Topics include ester hydrolysis, ester saponification, nitrile hydrolysis, and amide hydrolysis. The notes also explain reactions of acid chlorides and reductions of carbonyl compounds using metal hydride reagents. These reactions show how different derivatives interconvert within carbonyl chemistry.
