I want a nomenclature of heptanoic acid
Answers
Answer:
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has established rules to systematize the naming of organic acid molecules. A brief summary of those rules is presented here.
First identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms that includes the carbonyl carbon of the carboxylic acid group. Due to the carboxylic group form, it can only be located at the end of the chain. The acid's IUPAC name corresponding to this chain of carbons is stated with the "e" on the end of the normal hydrocarbon name replaced by "oic acid."
When organic acid molecules contain multiple bonds or branches, they are numbered relative to the location of the carbonyl carbon of the carboxylic group, which is designated as carbon number 1.
The carboxylic group functionalized onto the benzene ring is known as benzoic acid
