Preparing carboxylic acids (redox/oxidizing agents)

carboxylic acid reactivity with acid
oxygen of carbonyl of carboxylic acid reacts with acid if strong enough acid

carboxylic acid reactivity with base
Nu attacks Carbon of carbonyl
if Nu is good enough base, it will deprotanate the OH instead of doing Nu attack

electron withdrawing groups
EWG stabilize base, so conj acid is stronger acid
more electroneg substituents make stronger acid (ex F vs Cl, F will make more acidic)
proximity effect: the closer the EWG to carbo acid, the stronger the acid is

EDG vs EWG
EDG destabilize conj base so acid is less acidic
EWG stabilize conj bas, and acid is more acidic
