Nomenclature of 1-methylethyl methanoate
« on: February 13, 2005, 05:33:18 AM »
We can also use isopropyl to substitute 1-methylethyl, but...

I find that there is another name for this compound which is 2-propyl methanoate. I just want o know this name is correct or not.

Please don't use ChemDraw, because it can also draw out the same compound ;D

I think that 1-methylethyl methanoate is the correct naming for this compound.  The others are colloquial names.
