The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
It has the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH(CH 3) 2. It is a colorless liquid which boils at 57.9 °C. It is a colorless liquid which boils at 57.9 °C. References
The alkyl (R') group is named first. The R−C(=O)O part is then named as a separate word based on the carboxylic acid name, with the ending changed from "-oic acid" to "-oate" or "-carboxylate" For example, CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 COOCH 3 is methyl pentanoate, and (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CH 2 COOCH 2 CH 3 is ethyl 4-methylpentanoate.
Isovaleric acid, also known as 3-methylbutanoic acid or β-methylbutyric acid, is a branched-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CO 2 H. It is classified as a short-chain fatty acid. Like other low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids, it has an unpleasant odor. The compound occurs naturally and can be found in ...
The main structure of chemical names according to IUPAC nomenclature. IUPAC nomenclature is a set of recommendations for naming chemical compounds and for describing chemistry and biochemistry in general. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is the international authority on chemical nomenclature and terminology.
2-Methylbutanoic acid, also known as 2-methylbutyric acid is a branched-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3)CO 2 H, classified as a short-chain fatty acid. It exists in two enantiomeric forms, ( R )- and ( S )-2-methylbutanoic acid.
hydrogen oxalate (HC 2 O − 4) The formula Na 2 SO 3 denotes that the cation is sodium, or Na +, and that the anion is the sulfite ion (SO 2− 3). Therefore, this compound is named sodium sulfite. If the given formula is Ca(OH) 2, it can be seen that OH − is the hydroxide ion.
2,2-Dimethylbutane, trivially known as neohexane at William Odling's 1876 suggestion, [4] is an organic compound with formula C 6 H 14 or (H 3 C-) 3-C-CH 2-CH 3. It is therefore an alkane , indeed the most compact and branched of the hexane isomers — the only one with a quaternary carbon and a butane (C 4 ) backbone.
