Name each carboxylic acid or ester.

Video transcript

Welcome back, everyone determine the name of the carboxylic acid. Let's recall that whenever we name carboxylic acids, we first of all, once identified the longest consin carbon chain. And of course, we want to start enumerating our chain with carbon. Number one being part of the carboxyl group. So our carboxyl group coo H is at the far right of the molecule, right? And carbon number one can be located as the double bonded carbon. Now, if we move to the left, we get our carbons too. 34 and five. Our goal here is to understand what the name of the parent is. If we have a total of five carbon atoms, we have to recall that the prefix that represents five is Pansa. We also know that this is a carboxylic acid. Whenever we name carboxylic acids, we're going to use a suffix O ic OIC. And now because there is no branching, we don't have any substituents. We are ready to give it a name. We want to take the prefect, which is Panza. We want to make sure that it is derived from an L cane. So instead of just saying pencil, we're going to use Panson, right? And then we're going to add the suffix Tencent a week. And our final part where the final step is to add a word asset. What we can learn from this example is that we can name a carboxylic acid as Ke Norway acid as long as it doesn't contain any substitutions or branching. So let's say if we had six carbon atoms, an additional one, we would just say Hexon no acid, right? Therefore, we have our own name. The final name of this structure is Benson OIC acid. Thank you for watching.
