Organic Functions: Nomenclature of Nitrile and Isonitrile

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of Chemistry

Nitriles and isonitriles are organic compounds that are part of a wide range of industrial applications, including the manufacturing of polymers and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, these substances are often found in complex biochemical processes, where their correct identification and nomenclature are essential for understanding their properties and reactions. Consider the organic compound with the molecular formula C₅H₅N₃, which has a linear carbon chain and, at the same time, a functional carbon-nitrogen triple bond. This compound can be designated as both a nitrile and an isonitrile, depending on the position of the triple bond in relation to the cyano group. Based on knowledge of organic chemistry and IUPAC nomenclature, identify the correct nomenclature for this compound and justify your answer.
a.
The compound with the molecular formula C₅H₅N₃ should be named 'pentanamide', highlighting the presence of the amide functional group in the carbon chain.
b.
The correct IUPAC nomenclature for the organic compound C₅H₅N₃ is 'nitropentane', reflecting the existence of the nitro group linked to the carbon chain.
c.
The correct designation for the compound with the molecular formula C₅H₅N₃ is 'cyanopentane', indicating the presence of the cyano functional group.
d.
The appropriate nomenclature for the organic compound with the molecular formula C₅H₅N₃ is 'isonitropentane', considering the presence of the isonitrile functional group.
e.
The correct nomenclature for the organic compound with the molecular formula C₅H₅N₃, with a linear carbon chain and a functional carbon-nitrogen triple bond, is 'pentanitrile'.

Organic salts are compounds derived from the reaction of an inorganic base with a carboxylic acid. These compounds have distinct characteristics from inorganic salts, such as solubility in organic solvents and soap and detergent properties. A classic example of an organic salt is sodium acetate, which can be obtained by the reaction of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide. Given the formula of acetic acid (CH3COOH), identify the inorganic base that, when reacting with acetic acid, forms sodium acetate. This reaction is an example of:
