Isn't that ethanone chloride?
- No, it is not ethanol chloride; it is not ethanone chloride. It is ethanoyl chloride based on the fact that it is a derivative of ethanoic acid, which is the IUPAC name for acetic acid. However, based on the name acetic acid, it is much more commonly called acetyl chloride, which I am redirecting to a stub of an article on I've just written, ethanoyl chloride.
