| C4H9COOC3H7 |
A. propyl pentanoate
B. pentyl propanoate
C. butyl propanoate
D. propyl butanoate
Correct Answer: Option A
A. propyl pentanoate
Explanation
The alkyl group is attached to the parent chain that is a carboxylic acid. The name of the compound is gotten by writing the name of the attached alkyl group first and then the parent carboxylic acid is written but you change the -oic acid to -oate.
The alkyl group, in this case, is C3H7
The parent carboxylic acid is C4H9COOH which is pentanoic acid.
Hence, the name is propyl pentanoate.
