2,3-Dihydroxy sodiumbutanoate

ANORAK: can you please tell me how to do it
xcv: 1. First select the longest carbon chain(in this case, thee
is only 1 cabon chain, so you dont have to do it)
xcv: 2. then you name the carbons starting from the side from where the branch is nearer (here, two branches are attached at the 2nd carbon so you can start naming from either side)
xcv: then name the branches alphabetically (if the branches are different)
xcv: At the end, name the parent atom (the chain) with the functional group it contains)
xcv: And its done\
ANORAK: thanks
xcv: :)
