Q
Q: What is the IUPAC name of CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH?
Solution:
The longest carbon chain contains four carbons, and the functional group is a carboxylic acid, hence the name is Butanoic acid.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the structure of the molecule. The formula CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH shows a chain of carbon atoms.
Step 2: Count the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. There are 4 carbon atoms: CH3 (1) + CH2 (2) + CH2 (3) + COOH (4).
Step 3: Determine the functional group. The -COOH part indicates that this molecule is a carboxylic acid.
Step 4: Name the longest carbon chain. A chain with 4 carbon atoms is called 'butane'.
Step 5: Since it is a carboxylic acid, change 'butane' to 'butanoic acid'.
Step 6: Combine the information to conclude that the IUPAC name is Butanoic acid.
