Question shows a drawing of GABA and asks for its IUPAC name:
a. y-amino butyrate
b. 3-amino butanoic acid
c. 1-amino butyrate
d. 4-aminobutanoic acid
The drawing as shown has a positive amino group at one end and deprotonated COO- at the other. I was thinking of putting D which is the correct answer but put C. Even though the naming of the amino group is wrong, isn't the butyrate hinting its the deprotonated form? Or am I wrong?
