Question
Provide the correct IUPAC name for the compound shown here

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 7 of 27**
**Provide the correct IUPAC name for the compound shown here.**
**Chemical Structure:**
The molecular structure depicted shows a compound with two carbon chains bonded through an ester linkage. On the left, there is an acetyl group (H₃C-C(=O)-O-), and on the right, a propionyl group (H₃C-CH₂-C(=O)-) is bonded to the oxygen of the ester.
**Options for IUPAC Naming:**
- Prefix choices: 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-
- Modifier options: tert-, cyclo, di, iso, tri, sec-
- Root names: meth, eth, prop, but, pent, hex
- Suffix choices: aldehyde, oic, anhydride, acid, an, oate
**Tool Interface:**
Below the question, there is a tool allowing for the selection of various prefixes, modifiers, root names, and suffixes to build the correct IUPAC name of the compound.
**Example Response:**
To identify the IUPAC name, consider the ester linkage and the alkyl groups present. The potential correct name for the given structure is "methyl propanoate," indicating a methyl group and a propanoate linkage.
