1. The document provides the names and chemical structures of various carboxylic acids and related compounds.
2. Steps are given for synthesizing carboxylic acids from alcohols, alkyl halides, nitriles, and other precursors through reactions such as halogenation, nucleophilic substitution, hydrolysis, and oxidation.
3. Specific syntheses are outlined for derivatives of toluene, benzoic acid, p-toluidine, and other aromatic compounds. Reactions include halogenation, nitrile formation, hydrolysis, acetylation, and oxidation.
