Question

What is the structural formula for ibuprofen?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The IUPAC name for this compound is 2-methylpropylphenylpropanoic acid.

This compound is also known as isobutylphenylpropanoic acid.

This is because it has a methylpropyl group (`"CH"_3"CH"("CH"_3)"CH"_2`) bonded to a phenyl group (here `"C"_6"H"_4`) bonded to a propanoic acid group (`"CH"_3"CH""COOH"`)
