move this to isovaleric acid? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.104.118.88 (talk) 02:31, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

No need. The article uses the preferred IUPAC name and there is a redirect for both Isovaleric acid and Isovalerate. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 11:58, 6 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Andrewa (talk) 08:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

3-Methylbutanoic acid → Isovaleric acid – Per the older discussion above, the WP:COMMONNAME does appear to be isovaleric acid, per Google, CAS, Sigma-Aldrich, and PubChem. It should be moved to that name per WP:OCHEMNAME. The proposed title is consistent with articles for related compounds, such as butyric acid rather than butanoic acid (redirect) and isobutyric acid rather than isobutanoic acid (redirect) or 2-methylpropanoic acid (redirect).

Despite my comment in 2020, I am happy to accept the WP:COMMONNAME argument, although I don't see it as a necessary move given the availability of redirects. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
