摘要： “脱氢乙酸钠”曾被用作食品添加剂。本文以课堂讨论为契机，通过梳理其构词和发现历史，指出该名称既不符合化合物结构特点，也偏离了发现者的原意，建议更名为“脱水乙酸钠”。在讨论过程中，学生得以锻炼批判性思维，增强对有机化学的理解。

Abstract: Sodium dehydroacetate was previously employed as a food additive. This study, originating from classroom discussions, examines the compound’s nomenclature through etymological analysis and historical investigation. The findings demonstrate that the current name neither reflects its structural characteristics nor aligns with the discoverer’s original intent. We propose renaming it as “sodium dehydracetate”. This pedagogical approach simultaneously enhances students’ critical thinking skills and deepens their understanding of organic chemistry.
