Acyl group naming

• Naming esters

  1st name comes from the alcohol e.g. Methanol would be methyl, ethanol would be ethyl etc

  2nd name comes from the carboxylic acid e.g. methanoate, ethanoate and propanoate
• Acid hydrides naming

  E.g. CH3COOCOCH3 would form ethanoic anhydride

  Also if there is two different carboxylic acids so ethanoic and propanoic the names would go in alphabetical order forming ethanoic propanoic anhydride

  
• Acid chlorides naming

  The longest carbon chain with the suffix -oyl and chloride at the end

  e.g. CH3COCl would be ethanoyl chloride
