508 CARBOXYLIC ACIDS (d) Undecane is the unbranched alkane with 1l carbon atoms, undecanoic acid is the correspond- carboxylic acid, and undecenoic acid is an 11-carbon carboxylic acid that contains a double bond. Because the carbon chain is numbered beginning with the carboxyl group, 10-undecenoic acid has its double bond at the opposite end of the chain from the carboxyl group H,C=CH(CH2)&CO,H 10-Undecenoic acid (undecylenic acid) (e) Mevalonic acid has a five-carbon chain with hydroxyl groups at C-3 and C-5, along with a methyl group at C-3 HOCH,CH, CCH,CO, H 3. 5-Dihydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid (f) The constitution represented by the systematic name 2-methyl-2-butenoic acid gives rise to CH CH=CCO.H 2-Methy 1-2-butenoic acid Tiglic acid is the e isomer and the z isomer is known as angelic acid. The higher ranked sub stituents,methyl and carboxyl, are placed on opposite sides of the double bond in tiglic acid and on the same side in angelic acid. H,C H3 (E)-2-Methyl-2-butenoic (Z)-2-Methyl-2-butenoic acid (g) Butanedioic acid is a four-carbon chain in which both terminal carbons are carboxylic acid groups. Malic acid has a hydroxyl group at C-2. HOCCHCHCOH h) Each of the carbon atoms of propane bears a carboxyl group as a substituent in 1, 2, 3-propane- tricarboxylic acid. In citric acid C-2 also bears a hydroxyl group COH HO, CCH, CCH, CO,H 2-Hydroxy-1, 2, 3-propanetricarboxylic acid Back Forward Main Menu TOC Study Guide Toc Student OLC MHHE Website(d) Undecane is the unbranched alkane with 11 carbon atoms, undecanoic acid is the corresponding carboxylic acid, and undecenoic acid is an 11-carbon carboxylic acid that contains a double bond.

(e) Mevalonic acid has a five-carbon chain with hydroxyl groups at C-3 and C-5, along with a methyl group at C-3. ( f) The constitution represented by the systematic name 2-methyl-2-butenoic acid gives rise to two stereoisomers. Tiglic acid is the E isomer, and the Z isomer is known as angelic acid. The higher ranked substituents, methyl and carboxyl, are placed on opposite sides of the double bond in tiglic acid and on the same side in angelic acid. (g) Butanedioic acid is a four-carbon chain in which both terminal carbons are carboxylic acid groups. Malic acid has a hydroxyl group at C-2. (h) Each of the carbon atoms of propane bears a carboxyl group as a substituent in 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid. In citric acid C-2 also bears a hydroxyl group.
