[edit] IUPAC Name incorrect

The IUPAC name is for a carboxylate group but the article is for the di-carboxylic acid. is there a reason for this?--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 23:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

i'm pretty sure the IUPAC name is correct. the article is about a diol, not a di-carboxylate. the IUPAC name is (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoate - the first part is 1,3-dihyroxypropane which is the glycerol-backbone, and the second part is icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoate which refers to the arachidonic acid (aka icosatetraenoate). does that make sense?

Sorry...I misread the structure..I reworked the structure and suggest the actual IUPAC Name is: 1,3-Dihydroxy-2-propanyl (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-5,8,11,14-icosatetraenoate If you agree I'll let you change it.--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 04:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

done. thanks :) Roadnottaken (talk) 05:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
