Assign a common name to each of the following aldehydes.

1. a. CH₃─CH₂─CHO

Interpretation:

Common name for the given aldehyde has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Common names for aldehyde are a single word and not like alcohol or ether which contains two words.  The counting of carbon atoms leads to the naming of aldehyde.  From the total number of carbon atoms present in the given aldehyde, the common name of the aldehyde can be derived.  For the counting of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the name involves form-, acet-, propion-, and butyr- as prefix.

For compounds that contain benzene ring, the common name is obtained as derivatives of benzaldehyde.

Given structure of aldehyde is,

The longest carbon chain ...
