Question
The IUPAC name of
CH2−CH2−CH|CH2|CH3−O||C−O−CH3 is
The IUPAC name of
CH2−CH2−CH|CH2|CH3−O||C−O−CH3 is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Methyl-2-ethylbutanoate
Let us first discern the primary functional group.There seems to be only one functional group.
−O||C−O− is the ester functional group.
CH3 − CH2 − O||C−O−CH2−CH3 is namely as Ethyl propanate
A cursory glance at the options reveal option C
But let us name the compound
CH3−CH2−CH|CH2|CH3−O||C−O−CH3
The alkyl group attached -O- is \(CH_3) or methyl group. In the remaining part, let us choose the longest chain;
word root = but (4carbon atoms)
There is a substituent (Ethyl) at C2
Hence the IUPAC name is
Methyl -2- ethylbutanoate
Methyl-2-ethylbutanoate
