Chapter F, Problem F.17P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of pentanoyl chloride is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The structure of a compound can be drawn on the basis of its IUPAC name. The IUPAC name is made of three parts, prefix, root, and suffix. The suffix indicates the highest priority group present. Its location is written as a prefix for the functional group name unless redundant. The root is the longest continuous carbon chain that also includes the highest priority functional group. Any other functional groups present are listed alphabetically as prefixes along with their locants.

If any chiral carbons are present, their absolute configurations are specified at the start along with the carbon number if necessary. Similarly, the stereochemistry (E/Z) of any double bond is also specified at the start. A di, tri, etc., before a prefix or suffix, indicates the number of instances of that functional group.
