Chemist here, no clue what this was at first glance. Hell's bells IUPAC names for organic molecules are ugly. It's ascorbic acid.

That's why we biologists don't ever touch IUPAC names.

Does it come from an orange? Great, now it's called orangy acid. Works fine for us.

What's that? Sugar from a fruit? Fructose. Don't bother us.

Chemical engineer here, I remember when learning orgo that I thought the IUPAC names were hot shit and so formal and cool.

As I got older and got exposure to industry it was a hard left turn. What do you mean "ethylene" is a better name for the olefin of ethane, vs ethene for the alkene? I mean seriously what kind of distinction is that?
