First, we identify the parent chain, which is propane (three carbon atoms). Next, we locate the chlorine substituents on carbon atoms 2 and 3. Finally, we identify the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and place it on carbon atom 1.
Using dashes (-) to represent chemical bonds and omitting the hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon, the condensed structural formula for 2,3-dichloropropanoic acid can be written as:
CHβCH(Cl)CH(Cl)COOH
