The structure of isocitric acid which has the systematic name (2R, 3S)-3-carboxy-2-hydroxypentanedioic acid is to be drawn. Concept introduction: The names of simple carboxylic acids which are derivatives of open-chain alkanes are arrived by replacing the terminal –e of the corresponding alkane name by –oic acid. The numbering starts from carboxyl carbon. Compounds with –COOH bonded to a ring are named using the suffix- carboxylic acid . The –COOH carbon in this case is not numbered as C 1 , instead the carbon to which it is attached is numbered as C 1 . As a substituent, the –COOH group is called as carboxyl group. To draw: The structure of isocitric acid which has the systematic name (2R, 3S)-3-carboxy-2-hydroxypentanedioic acid.

Solution Summary: The author explains the structure of isocitric acid which has the systematic name (2R, 3S)-3-carboxy-2-hydroxypentanedioic acid.
Definition Definition Class of organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group ( - COOH ) and has a general formula R - COOH or R - CO 2 H , where R refers to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other groups. They can undergo different chemical reactions, such as acid-base reactions, esterification, and oxidation. These are essential components of living organisms, playing important roles in metabolic processes, signaling, and as pharmaceuticals.
