No. it might *seem* like a ketone (or carbonyl) team next to an alcohol team, however the behaviour of the clever team is thoroughly distinctive. Carboxylic acids are 1000's of situations greater acidic than alcohols because of delocalisation of electrons whilst the H+ is donated. Carboxylic acids additionally do different reactions (e.g. kind esters, do nucleophilic substitutions ) that ketones do not. It takes a mutually as to get used to finding on the "finished" team and not basically the guy aspects. an identical subject occurs in amides, which seem plenty like a ketone next to an amine team.

How about ethyl hydroxymethyl ketone like this -
