The names of simple carboxylic acids which are derivatives of open-chain
To give:
The structure and names of eight carboxylic acids with the formula C6H12O2.
b) Three nitriles with the formula C5H7N
Interpretation:
The structure and names of three nitriles with the formula C5H7N are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Different isomers can be arrived by arranging the carbons present in the molecule as a straight chain or as a branched chain with one or two branches and placing the functional group on different carbons in the chain.
Simple open chain nitriles are are named by adding –nitrile as suffix to the alkane name, with the nitrile carbon numbered as C1. Nitriles can also be names as derivatives of carboxylic acids by replacing the –ic acid or –oic acid ending with –onitrile. The nitrile carbon is not numbered but the carbon to which it is attached is numbered ac C1. If another carboxylic acid derivative is present in the same molecule, the prefix –cyano is used for the –CN group.
To give:
The structure and names of three nitriles with the formula C5H7N.

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups.
