CH_3-CH=CH-CH_2-COOH What is the IUPAC name of the above compound ?

CH3-CH=CH-CH2-COOH\text{CH}_3\text{-CH=CH-CH}_2\text{-COOH}
What is the IUPAC name of the above compound ?

Options

  1. APent-2-enoic acid
  2. BPent-3-enoic acid
  3. CPent-2-en-1-oic acid
  4. D3-Pentenol

Correct answer

B. Pent-3-enoic acid

Step-by-step solution

Identify the principal functional group, which is the carboxylic acid group (-COOH\text{-COOH}).

Number the carbon chain starting from the carboxylic acid carbon to give it the lowest locant (11).

The numbering is as follows:
C5H3-C4H=C3H-C2H2-C1OOH\text{C}^5\text{H}_3\text{-C}^4\text{H=C}^3\text{H-C}^2\text{H}_2\text{-C}^1\text{OOH}

The longest chain has 55 carbon atoms, so the root word is pent.

There is a double bond starting at carbon 33, so the primary suffix is 33-en.

The secondary suffix for the carboxylic acid is oic acid.

Combining these parts, the IUPAC name is pent-33-enoic acid.

Answer: Pent-3-enoic acid
