Naming a Specific Dialdehyde
« on: September 18, 2014, 05:42:01 PM »
What would Succinaldehyde with one of the end H's replaced with a Methy Group (CH3)?
I can do the Lewis Structure, but can't think of what it would be called. Anyone know?

If one does know, could they state how they worked the name out, If one did so.
Thank you all in advance :)

Okay, lets think about the functional group transformation.
What changes?

Hint: what classes of compounds containing carbonyl do you know?

This is acetaldehyde:

CC=O

now let's replace the terminal hydrogen, can you name this compound:

CC(=O)C
