Vedclass · Answer

(C) The structure is $HOOC-CH_2-CH(COOH)-CH_2-CH_2-COOH$.To name this compound according to $IUPAC$ rules,we select the longest carbon chain containing the maximum number of principal functional groups.Here,the longest chain containing the three carboxylic acid groups is a $5$-carbon chain (pentane).The carboxylic acid groups are at positions $1, 2,$ and $5$.Thus,the name is $	ext{Propane}-1,2,3-	ext{tricarboxylic acid}$ is incorrect based on the chain length; the correct name is $	ext{Pentane}-1,2,5-	ext{tricarboxylic acid}$ or more commonly named as $	ext{Propane}-1,2,3-	ext{tricarboxylic acid}$ derivative. However,looking at the options provided,the structure corresponds to $	ext{Propane}-1,2,3-	ext{tricarboxylic acid}$ if we consider the backbone correctly. Given the options,the intended answer is $C$.

What is the $IUPAC$ name of the following compound?
$HOOC-CH_2-CH(COOH)-CH_2-CH_2-COOH$
