The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options represents the incorrect IUPAC name of a compound, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of Each Option:** - **Option A:** The structure is CH3-CH2-CO-CH3 (butan-2-one). - **Option B:** The structure is CH3-CH2-CH(OH)-CH3 (butan-2-ol). - **Option C:** The structure is CH3-COOH (ethanoic acid). - **Option D:** The structure is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH (butanol). 2. **Analyze Option A:** - The longest carbon chain has 4 carbons. - The functional group is a ketone (C=O). - The correct IUPAC name is butan-2-one. - This option is correct. 3. **Analyze Option B:** - The longest carbon chain has 4 carbons. - The functional group is an alcohol (OH). - The correct IUPAC name is butan-2-ol. - This option is correct. 4. **Analyze Option C:** - The compound is CH3-COOH. - The longest chain has 2 carbons. - The functional group is a carboxylic acid. - The correct IUPAC name is ethanoic acid. - However, the structure is not consistent with the name given as "Methyl Propanoate" which is an ester. - This option is incorrect. 5. **Analyze Option D:** - The longest carbon chain has 4 carbons. - The functional group is an alcohol (OH). - The correct IUPAC name is butan-1-ol. - This option is correct. ### Conclusion: The incorrect IUPAC name is found in **Option C**, as it misrepresents the compound's functional group and structure.
