Chapter 16, Problem 16.97EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The IUPAC name for the ester formed when acetic acid and ethanol react has to be assigned.

Concept Introduction:

Esters are prepared by condensation of carboxylic acid with an alcohol.  A molecule of water is lost on this reaction.  The reaction that takes place in producing esters is known as esterification reaction.

Esterification reaction is the one in which the carboxylic acid is condensed with an alcohol (or phenol) in presence of strong acid catalyst to produce ester.  The general reaction scheme can be given as,

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 16.97EP , additional homework tip  1

For naming an ester, it can be structurally viewed in a way that contains an acyl group and an alkyl group.

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 16.97EP , additional homework tip  2

Rules to obtain IUPAC name and common name for an ester:

  • Alkyl part appears first in the IUPAC name and it is followed by the acyl part of ester as a separate word.
  • Name of the alkyl part in the ester is just a name of R group.  It can be alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl group.
  • Acyl part present in the ester is named by considering the acid name and replacing the suffix “-ic acid” with “-ate”.
  • To obtain the common name the alkyl part name is the same while the acyl part name is derived from the common name of the acid by replacing the suffix “-ic acid” with “-ate”.

The alkyl and acyl group is identified as shown below,

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 16.97EP , additional homework tip  6

Alkyl group contains only two carbon atoms.  Hence alkyl group is named as ethyl.  The acyl group contains two carbon atoms.  The IUPAC name of carboxylic acid that contains three carbon atoms is ethanoic acid.  For naming acyl group in ester the suffix “-ic acid” is converted into “-ate”.  This gives the name of acyl part as ethanoate.  Therefore IUPAC name of the given ester is ethyl ethanoate.

Conclusion

IUPAC name of the formed ester is assigned.
