Carboxylic Acids. (The functional group of this class is the carboxyl group: -COOH or-CO2H). Basic IUPAC nomenclature-CARBOXYLIC ACIDS: (See the home page for parent root names, prefixes & suffixes.). 1.In the IUPAC system, the-e is dropped from the parent alkane, and the suffix-oic acid is added.here are an abundance of compound which have two carboxyl functional groups and these are known as: dicarboxylic acids. To construct the name of these compounds, add the suffix-dioic acid to the name of the parent alkane containing both carboxyl groups.
