[Solved] I.U.P.A.C Name Of CH3COOC2H5 Will Be:

Concept:

IUPAC nomenclature:

  • A systematic method of naming organic compounds.
  • Naming is based on their structures.
  • It is devised by the International Union of Pure and Applied chemistry.
  • Many rules are followed while naming the compounds and it is different for different functional groups.
  • The rules are known as IUPAC rules.

​Explanation:

IUPAC rules for naming esters.

  • Esters are compounds formed from carboxylic acids and alcohols.
  • The esters are represented by RCOOR'.
  • Trivial naming of esters:
    • Write first the substituent - alkyl, alkenyl, cyclohexyl, aryl, etc attached to the oxygen atom as the first word.
    • Write the common name of the carboxylic acid as the second word but replace - 'ic', with '-ate'.
    • For example, the given molecule is named ethyl formate ( acid is formic acid ).

F1 Utkarsha 15.1.21 Pallavi D4

  • In the IUPAC system, the alkyl esters of open chain saturated monocarboxylic acids are named as alkyl alkanoates.
  • They have a general CnH2nO2.

F1 Utkarsha 15.1.21 Pallavi D5

F1 Utkarsha 15.1.21 Pallavi D6

The given molecule CH3COOC2H5 has the following structure:

F1 Utkarsha 15.1.21 Pallavi D7

  • The alkyl group attached to the ' O ' atom is Ethyl- this will be the first word.
  • The corresponding acid is Ethanoic acid ( common name acetic acid ).

Hence, the name will be Ethyl ethanoate.
