Answer to Question #265708 in Organic Chemistry for Almas

Question

Nomenclature of Acid Halide with steps and give four examples.

Answer 1

The nomenclature of acid halides starts with the name of the corresponding carboxylic acid. The –ic acid ending is removed and replaced with the ending -yl followed by the name of the halogen with an –ide ending. This is true for both common and IUPAC nomenclature. The carbonyl carbon is given the #1 location number.
