Chapter 17.6, Problem 17.42QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The IUPAC and common name (if any) of the given organic carboxylic acid should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

An organic compound in which carboxy functional group that is -COOH is bonded to the carbon atom is said to be a carboxylic acid. The general formula for carboxylic acid is RCOOH or RCO₂H.

In order to give the name to the carboxylic acid group, the following steps are followed:

1. The parent (longest) alkane chain is identified.

2. The ending of the parent chain from alkane (-e) is changed to -oic acid for a carboxylic acid group.

3. The numbering is of the chain is done in such a way that carbonyl carbon gets the smaller number.

4. Name should be written in alphabetical order and other substituents are shown by the number.

For number of carbons atoms chain, the prefix is given as:

Carbon-1  meth

Carbon-2  eth

Carbon-3  prop

Carbon-4  but

Carbon-5  pent

Carbon-6  hex

Carbon-7  hept

Carbon-8  oct

Carbon-9  non

Carbon-10  dec
