Two of the carbon positions in the parent chain of carboxylic acids are designated as "a" or "B." • The a and ß designations are not part of the IUPAC naming system, however they are commonly used. The carbons that are designated as carbon number 2 and 3 in the IUPAC system are often referred to as the a carbon and ß carbon, respectively.
