Concept Introduction:
Alkanoic acid is the IUPAC name of carboxylic acid.
- First choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms having carboxyl group known as parent chain.
- The numbering of parent chain should be done in a way that the carboxyl group and substituents get the lowest number.
- The root name of the carbon chain is “oic” acid.
- The appropriate name should be given to every alkyl group and denote its position on the parent chain with the number.
- The alkyl groups are written in alphabetical order.
