This is NOT homework, I am just confused on how to name this organic compound. My chemistry teacher got quite of stumped, let alone i do not believe my fellow class mates in their idea of the name.
Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------CH3
------------------------------------------------------------------|
OH-CH2-CH2-CH2(CH3)-CH3 + CH3COOH --> CH3-C-O-CH2-CH2-CH-CH3
--------------------------------------------------||
--------------------------------------------------O
(Sorry it's a bit hard to draw the compound on this; I am currently capped and can't be bothered uploading a picture to a website).
Anyways, back to the Question.
What is the name of the substance?
Ethanoic + 3 mthyl, butanol -> H2o + " 2 methyl, butanyl ethanoate"
I've always thought you are not able to get a functional group, on a functional group. Looking at this we notice the butyl functional group attached to the ester (ethanoate). Then there is also a methyl group of this?
If that is actually the name, can someone please guide me in the right direction? - What is the general rule with having a Functional Group/Functional Group.
(P.S I do understand you can obviously get two SEPERATE functional groups, I've just never encountered a functional group on another).
Thanks, recoil33
