2-(5-Bromo-3-methyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran-2-yl)acetic acid
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(11)H(9)BrO(4)S, the O atom and the methyl group of the methyl-sulfinyl substituent lie on opposite sides of the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions. In addition, the crystal structure exhibits a Br⋯π inter-action of 3.551 (3) Å between the Br atom and the centroid of the benzene ring of an adjacent mol-ecule.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
