The carbonyl carbon in ketones and aldehydes is more electrophilic than in carboxylic acids.This is because the lone pairs on oxygen atom attached to hydrogen atom in the -COOH group are involved in resonance thereby making the carbon atom less electrophilic.
Hence, carboxylic acids do not give characteristic reaction of carbonyl group.
