Problem 21-1Wade - 9th Edition

Textbook Question

Name the following carboxylic acid derivatives, giving both a common name and an IUPAC name where possible.

(o) <IMAGE>
(p) <IMAGE>

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the functional group present in each compound. Carboxylic acid derivatives include esters, amides, anhydrides, and acyl chlorides.

For compound (o), determine the specific type of carboxylic acid derivative based on the functional group identified.

For compound (p), similarly, identify the specific type of carboxylic acid derivative.

Use the structure of each compound to determine the parent carboxylic acid. This involves identifying the longest carbon chain that includes the carbonyl group.

Apply the IUPAC naming rules for carboxylic acid derivatives to each compound, and also provide the common name if applicable. This involves naming the acyl group and the substituent group attached to the functional group.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

Carboxylic acid derivatives are compounds that are derived from carboxylic acids by replacing the hydroxyl group (-OH) with another functional group. Common derivatives include esters, amides, anhydrides, and acyl chlorides. Understanding these derivatives is crucial for naming them correctly, as their structures influence their nomenclature and reactivity.

IUPAC Nomenclature

IUPAC nomenclature is a systematic method for naming chemical compounds, established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. It provides rules for naming organic compounds based on their structure, including the longest carbon chain, functional groups, and substituents. Familiarity with these rules is essential for accurately naming carboxylic acid derivatives.

Common Names vs. IUPAC Names

Common names are traditional names used for chemical compounds that may not follow systematic naming conventions, while IUPAC names are standardized and reflect the compound's structure. For many carboxylic acid derivatives, both naming conventions exist, and knowing when to use each is important for clear communication in organic chemistry.
