Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

For the given molecule, the IUPAC is to be written.

Concept introduction:

An ester consists of a $\text{O}=\text{C}-\text{O}$ group with hydrogen or an alkyl group (R) attached to the carbonyl carbon and another alkyl group (R or R’) attached to the singly bonded oxygen atom. The name of an ester has the general form $\text{alkyl alkanoate}$. The alkyl part denotes the alkyl group attached to the singly bonded oxygen atom while the alkanoate part indicates the alkyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon in an ester. The alkanoate portion derives from the analogous alkane having the same number of carbon atoms. The basic representation of an ester molecule is shown as:
