Carboxylic acids are compounds whose molecules contain a carboxyl group that is joined to a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group by a single bond to its carbon atom.
The four main types of reactions of carboxylic acids are chiefly due to either the weak acidity of the hydroxyl hydrogen or to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen.
The second and third types are similar to reactions of the carbonyl group ; the carboxyl group may be thought of as a carbonyl group joined to a hydroxyl group.

 Regioselective protection of myo-inositol orthoesters – recentdevelopments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
We theorized that since sulfonyl groups are less prone to migration among hydroxyl groups (as compared to acyl groups), and also posses two oxygen atoms which could aid in the stabilization of the C-4 alkoxide, disulfonylation of the triols 1 and 2 would result in the formation of the corresponding symmetrical 4,6-disulfonates 50.
It is pertinent to mention that the use of sulfonate groups for the protection of alcohols is not usually encountered during organic synthesis because of the difficulties in their deprotection.
Furthermore, replacement of a methylene group in adamantane by an oxygen atom is known to appreciate the extent of retention of configuration during solvolysis.

The functional group of the alcohols is the hydroxyl group, -OH.
The most reactive site in an alcohol molecule is the hydroxyl group, despite the fact that the O-H bond strength is significantly greater than that of the C-C, C-H and C-O bonds, demonstrating again the difference between thermodynamic and chemical stability.

 Reactions Involving Alcohols   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Unlike alkyl halides, alcohols undergo nucleophilic substitutions poorly because of the sluggish leaving group ability of the Hydroxyl group.
The mesylate group or the Tosylate group is a far better leaving group, better than even the protonaed Hydroxyl group.Nucleophilic reactions occur much faster and yields of substitution product are much improved.
The reaction involves the initial protonation of the Hydroxyl group of the alcohol.

Without the allyl protecting group, the substituent is a hydroxyl group that is prone to easy protonation in the first step, and also in every subsequent step which involves a base.
Its pKa is lower than that of the hydrogen that is otherwise removed in the first step because oxygen is an electronegative atom.
Changing each hydroxyl substituent into an allyl group is a good idea because it increases the yield of the desired product by preventing inadvertent intramolecular reactions involving a deprotonated hydroxyl group.
