Generally 3 types or reactions are used to produce carboxylic acids:

(1) Hydrolysis (i.e. reacting with water) of carboxylic acid derivatives such as esters, amides, anhydrides, acid halides, or nitriles.

(2) Oxidation of primary alcohols & aldehydes

(3) Grignard reaction

These are found in any organic chemistry book. The explanations are rather lengthy to include here plus I'm not sure of your general knowledge of organic chemistry so you can understand it. But hopefully that helps. Post another question if you want more specific information.
