Rajdeep · Answer

HELLO THERE! According to my knowledge, the above name is wrong according to the IUPAC rules. 4-oxomethyl pentanoate does not really exist . If it is Methyl 4-oxo-pentanoate , then here is the structure: CH 3 -O-CO-CH 2 -CH 2 -CO-CH 3 Ester group is priorer than the Ketone group, so we use the prefix name for ketone (oxo) and suffix name for ester (oate) . THANKS!
