Question
Write the IUPAC names of the following structural formulae: $\mathrm{HCOOH}$
✓
Answer
The number of carbon atoms: 1
Parent alkane: Methane
Functional group: $-\mathrm{COOH}$ (-oic cid)
If the carbon chain of the compound contains a $-\mathrm{COOH}$ group, then change the ending of the parent name, i.e. ' $e$ ' of methane is replaced by '-oic acid'.
Parent suffix: Methanoic acid
IUPAC name: Methanoic acid
Parent alkane: Methane
Functional group: $-\mathrm{COOH}$ (-oic cid)
