Q. 14.19 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Write the IUPAC and common names, if any, for each of the following:

(a)

(b)

(c)

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(part a) Common name: Methyl formate, IUPAC name: Methyl methanoate

(part b) Common name: Ethyl Propionate, IUPAC name: Ethyl Propanoate

(part c) Common name: Propyl acetate, IUPAC name: Propyl ethanoate

Step1: Introduction (part a)

Esters are provided two identities more by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). The designation of acetic acid is only one, or the name of alcoholic is the other. The alkyl group of both the alcohol is symbolized by the $1st$ word, while a word of the carboxylate first from carboxylic acid is given by the $2nd$ word. Compounds also often to this as "alkyl carbonyls."

Step 2: Given Information (part a)

The most significant alcohol terminology can also be gathered under be used in generic names, whereas the International union identities of the solvents and hydroxy families have been used in IUPAC names.

Step 3: Explanation (part a)

(part a) 

Common name: Methyl formate

IUPAC name: Methyl methanoate

Step 4: Given Information (part b)

The most significant alcohol terminology can also be gathered under be used in generic names, whereas the International union identities of the solvents and hydroxy families have been used in IUPAC names.

Step 5: Explanation (part b)

(part b) 

Common name: Ethyl Propionate

IUPAC name: Ethyl Propanoate

Step 6: Given Information (part c)

The important terms of the alcohols can be used in generic names, whereas the International union identities of the solvents and hydroxy families have been used in IUPAC names.

Step 7: Explanation (part c)

 (part c) 

Common name: Propyl acetate

IUPAC name: Propyl ethanoate
