Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structural formula for methyl formate has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
General structure of ester can be represented as shown below,
From an IUPAC name, the structure of the ester can be derived. IUPAC name of ester consists of two parts. In an IUPAC name of ester, the first part of the name is the alkyl part and the second part is the acyl part. Alkyl group have come from the alcohol and acyl part from carboxylic acid.
The same rule applies for deriving a structure from common name. The only difference is the acyl part name. The acyl part is named using the common name of carboxylic acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
Structural formula for ethyl phenylacetate has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
General structure of ester can be represented as shown below,

The same rule applies for deriving a structure from common name. The only difference is the acyl part name. The acyl part is named using the common name of carboxylic acid.
(c)
