Answer:

PROPYL ETHANOATE (OR PROPYL ACETATE)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Identify the functional group of the compound.

COO is present, hence it is an ester.

2nd step: Split up the compound into CH3COOH and CH3CH2CH2OH.

Comes from ethanoic acid and propanol

3rd step: Join the names of the alcohol and the carboxylic acid together.

Hence, propyl ethanoate.
