For IUPAC name, draw the corresponding structural formula and line-angle formula.
Q.) Propanone
The IUPAC name of the compound is derived by analyzing the number of carbon atoms and functional groups present in it. On the other hand, the structure of the compound can be determined from its IUPAC name. The suffix and prefixes from the name are useful for understanding the functional groups present in it.
The IUPAC name of the compound is propanone. The suffix -one shows that the compound contains the ketone group. The other part of the name ("propan") shows that the number of carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon chain is three. Hence, the central carbon atom or the second carbon atom is double-bonded to an oxygen atom to form a ketone group.
