naming compounds
« on: June 08, 2007, 07:43:24 PM »
 :)

I am not too familiar with the naming system...I know after the reaction in the diagram below, what structure will form. though I am not sure of the name.

my try at the name...is it 7-octen-1-ol?

octenoic acid?

o bravo~  ;D
octenoic acid is indeed among one of the choices. the 5 choices are 7-octen-1-ol
 7-octenal
  octanoic acid
1-octanol

in the diagram where c=o bond, will that get reduced to CH2?

But carbon atom of carboxylic group always has locant "1", so correct name of your compound is: oct-7-enoic acid.

thanks for the replies.

I got the correct answer now, and thought I should let you guys know, because it is actually 7-octen-1-ol.
but I appreciate the suggestions. thank you
