Question

Draw the structures of the following compounds:
1) Propionic acid
2) 2-chlorobutanoic acid
3) Trifluoro acetic acid
4) 4-methoxypentanoic acid
5) 2-Bromobutanoic acid
6) Isobutyric acid
7) 2,2-dibromoheptanoic acid

Answer 1

$O$

(1) $H_{3}C-C{H}_2-\stackrel{||}{C}-OH$

$\text{Propionic acid}$

$O$

(2) $H_{3}C-C{H}_2-\underset{|}{CH}-\stackrel{||}{C}-OH$

$Cl$

$\text{2-Chlorobutanoic acid}$

(3) $O$

$F_{3}C-\stackrel{||}{C}-OH$

$\text{Trifluoroacetic acid}$

(4) $O$

$HO-\stackrel{||}{C}-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-\underset{|}{CH}-O-C{H}_3$

$C{H}_3$

$\text{4-Methoxy pentanoic acid}$

(5) Br $O$

$C{H}_3-C{H}_2-\stackrel{|}{C}H-\stackrel{||}{C}-OH$

$\text{2-Bromobutanoic acid}$

(6) $O$

$H_{3}C-\underset{|}{CH}-\stackrel{||}{C}-OH$

$C{H}_3$

$\text{Isobutyric acid}$

$Br$ $O$

(7) $H_{3}C-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-\stackrel{|}{\underset{|}{C}}-\stackrel{||}{C}-OH$

$Br$

$\text{2,2-Dibromoheptanoic acid}$
