Organic Chemistry
Determine the structure corresponding to the name β-methylbutyric acid.
Draw the structural formula of cyclooctanecarboxylic acid.
Considering their structures and relative pKa values, rank the following in order of increasing acidity:
sec-butyl alcohol, water, propan-1-ol, 2-chloropropan-1-ol, propanoic acid, nitric acid, hept-1-yne, heptane, and methylamine
Give an appropriate systematic name for each of the structures shown below.
When is it more appropriate to use the common naming system for carboxylic acids?
