Answer» Solution :(a) There are 4 C atoms in the chain involving-COOH group, therefore, the ROOT WORD is .but.. (b) Only C-C BONDS appear between C atoms in the chain, therefore, primary suffix is .ane.. THUS, Base name = root word + primary suffix = but + ane = butane (c) There is --COOH group in the chain, therefore, secondary suffix is .OIC acid.. Thus, the IUPAC name of the given compound is derived as: Butane named -e + Secondary suffix Butane - e + oic acid = Butanoic acid |
