(a)
Interpretation:
Name of the given organic acid should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An organic compound in which carboxy
In order to give the name to the carboxylic acid group, the following steps are followed:
1. The parent (longest)
2. The ending of the parent chain from alkane (-e) is changed to -oic acid for a carboxylic acid group.
3. The numbering is of the chain is done in such a way that carbonyl carbon gets the smaller number.
4. Name should be written in alphabetical order and other substituents are shown by the number.
For number of carbons atoms chain, the prefix is given as:
Carbon-1meth
Carbon-2eth
Carbon-3prop
Carbon-4but
Carbon-5pent
Carbon-6hex
Carbon-7hept
Carbon-8oct
Carbon-9non
Carbon-10dec.
(b)
Interpretation:
Name of the given organic acid should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An organic compound in which carboxy functional group that is -COOH is bonded to the carbon atom is said to be a carboxylic acid. The general formula for carboxylic acid is RCOOH or RCO2 H.
In order to give the name to the carboxylic acid group, the following steps are followed:
1. The parent (longest) alkane chain is identified.
2. The ending of the parent chain from alkane (-e) is changed to -oic acid for a carboxylic acid group.
3. The numbering is of the chain is done in such a way that carbonyl carbon gets the smaller number.
4. Name should be written in alphabetical order and other substituents are shown by the number.
