Question

CH₃-CH₂-COOH - Write the IUPAC names of the structural formulae.

Answer 1

CH₃-CH₂-COOH , it is example of carboxylic acid family. It is an homogeneous series in which the compounds contain a functional group called the carboxyl group (-COOH). Carboxylic acid formula is CₓH₂ₓ₊₁COOH, where x is natural numbers.

And we know, how to name of carboxylic acid.
if x = 1 , then carboxylic acid, CH₃COOH ⇒ethanoic acid/ethane-1-oicacid
If x = 2 , then carboxylic acid , C₂H₅COOH /CH₃-CH₂-COOH ⇒propanoic acid/propane-1-oicacid.
and so on

Here, formula is CH₃ - CH₂ - COOH , e.g., C₂H₅COOH
Hence, IUPAC name of it is propanoic acid/propane-1-oicacid
