Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Common name of the given compound has to be assigned.
Concept Introduction:
Amides are derivatives of
IUPAC rules for naming an amide:
- The end in name of the carboxylic acid is changed from “-ic acid” or “-oic acid” to “-amide”.
- The groups attached to the nitrogen are appended to front of base name by using N-prefix as locator.
For amides, IUPAC name and common names are given using the same rules.
(b)
Interpretation:
Common name of the given compound has to be assigned.
Concept Introduction:
Amides are derivatives of carboxylic acid. This is the reason that their names are completely based on the parent carboxylic acid.
IUPAC rules for naming an amide:
- The end in name of the carboxylic acid is changed from “-ic acid” or “-oic acid” to “-amide”.
- The groups attached to the nitrogen are appended to front of base name by using N-prefix as locator.
For amides, IUPAC name and common names are given using the same rules.
