Chapter F, Problem F.14P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

For the given carboxylic acid, the IUPAC name is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

While naming a carboxylic acid, following basic rules are used.

Select the longest possible carbon root chain that contains the acid functional group ${\text{( CO}}_{\text{2}}\text{H })$. The numbering begins at carbonyl carbon of acid functional group. If there is only one acid group, then the suffix is oic acid. If two acid groups are present, then the chain that contains carbonyl carbons of both groups is treated as the root, and the suffix used is dioic acid.

Any other substituents are listed alphabetically as prefixes along with their locants.
