help me. . . can't get the naming right!

Give the systenatic (IUPAC) names for these molecules. OCCH CH3 CH2CH2CHCHa thylbenzoate methyl 4-methylpentanoate incorrect. You mixed up the acyl and alkoxy portions of the molecule. Name the alkoxy part (derived from alcohol) first, followed by the acyl part In addition, you may have miscounted the carbon atoms in the alkoxy portion of the ester Keep in mind that the prefix eth- means "two Consider what prefix means three 0 Previous Give Up & 190 Mendocino Co." × + m fibiscms/modibis/view.php?id= 1 592966

Explanation / Answer

1.

While naming the esters, the group attached to C=O group is put as alkanoate, and the group attached to O is put as alkyl.

Here, the group attached to C=O is propyl group. Hence propanoate.

The group attached to O is phenyl group. Hence phenyl

Thus, the name is phenyl propanoate.

------------------------------------

2.

Here, the group attached to C=O is (3-methyl butyl) group. Hence 3-methyl butanoate.

The group attached to O is methyl group. Hence methyl

Thus, the name is methyl-3-methyl butanoate.
