Answer to Problem 20.2P
The name of the given compound is
Explanation of Solution
The structure of the given compound is shown below.
Figure 1
When a compound is named, the first thing is to identify the longest parent chain. If the parent chain is substituted, then it is numbered in such a manner so that the substituent gets the lowest locant number. In the given case, the structure is numbered as shown below.
Figure 2
It contains a carboxyl group which is a higher priority functional group. The numbering is started from the carboxyl group. The parent chain is identified as butane. It is disubstituted at
