Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
IUPAC name of the acyl group present in butanoic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Rules to obtain IUPAC name and common names of acyl group in hydrocarbon derivative:
- Acyl groups present in the
carboxylic acid and their derivatives are named simply by replacing the “-ic acid” in the name of the acid with “-yl”.
