SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the IUPAC naming of complex organic compounds, specifically those containing multiple ethers and carboxylic acids. The first compound presented is CH3-CH2-O-CH=CH-CH-O-CH2-C-C-COOH, while the second compound is O=C-C=C-CH2-CH-CH=CH-O-C-C-C-O-COOH. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the priority of functional groups, particularly how carboxylic acids take precedence over esters in naming. ACD/ChemSketch is recommended as a useful tool for visualizing and exporting molecular structures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of IUPAC nomenclature for organic compounds
  • Familiarity with functional groups such as ethers and carboxylic acids
  • Knowledge of molecular structure representation
  • Experience with chemical drawing software, specifically ACD/ChemSketch
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the IUPAC naming conventions for complex organic compounds
  • Learn how to prioritize functional groups in organic chemistry
  • Explore the features of ACD/ChemSketch for molecular visualization
  • Study examples of naming compounds with multiple functional groups
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, organic chemists, and anyone involved in the naming and visualization of complex organic molecules will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement


Does anyone know how to name these? I know how to name ethers when there is only one but these are just insane. IUPAC of course.

Homework Equations


1. O
||
CH3-CH2-O-CH=CH-CH-O-CH2-C-C-COOH
| ||
OH O

2. I O O
| || ||
O=C-C=C-CH2-CH-CH=CH-O-C-C-C-O-COOH
| | | ||
H OH OH O

The Attempt at a Solution



See I just don't know how to do multiple ethers here. And in the second one, is there an ester there or does the carboxylic acid take priority anyways?

Note: This can only be answered by people who can edit my post because for some reason the spaces do not show up properly when viewed. But if you go to edit this post it looks ok, so thanks for any help

I thought they will look better as CODE, but it didn't work either.

Try to download ACD/ChemSketch - they have free version. You will be able to draw a molecule and export it as a picture.
