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.
Methoxyethane, also known as ethyl methyl ether, is a colorless gaseous ether with the formula CH 3 OCH 2 CH 3.Unlike the related dimethyl ether and diethyl ether, which are widely used and studied, this mixed alkyl ether has no current applications.
Butyric acid (/ ˈ b j uː t ɪ r ɪ k /; from Ancient Greek: βούτῡρον, meaning "butter"), also known under the systematic name butanoic acid, is a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH. It is an oily, colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor.
The name "acetic acid" derives from the Latin word for vinegar, "acetum", which is related to the word "acid" itself. "Glacial acetic acid" is a name for water-free acetic acid. Similar to the German name "Eisessig" ("ice vinegar"), the name comes from the solid ice-like crystals that form with agitation, slightly below room temperature at 16.6 ...
Methyl propionate can be prepared by esterification of propionic acid with methanol. Industrially, it is prepared by carboalkoxylation, i.e., the reaction of ethylene with carbon monoxide and methanol in the presence of a catalyst: C 2 H 4 + CO + MeOH → MeO 2 CCH 2 CH 3. The reaction is catalyzed by nickel carbonyl and palladium(0) complexes ...
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.
This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds. There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite. Note: There are elements for which spellings may differ, such as aluminum/aluminium, sulfur/sulphur, and caesium/cesium.
For example, at room temperature, in a 1-molar solution of acetic acid, only 0.001% of the acid are dissociated (i.e. 10 −5 moles out of 1 mol). Electron-withdrawing substituents, such as -CF 3 group , give stronger acids (the p K a of acetic acid is 4.76 whereas trifluoroacetic acid, with a trifluoromethyl substituent , has a p K a of 0.23).
