MCQ
$IUPAC$ name of $C{H_3}CH(OH)C{H_2}C{H_2}COOH$ is
- ✓$4-$ hydroxy pentanoic acid
- B$1-$ carboxy $-3-$ butanoic acid
- C$1-$ carboxy $-4-$ butanol
- D$4-$ carboxy $-2-$ butanol
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4-$ hydroxy pentanoic acid
a
Carboxylic functional group is prior to hydroxyl group. Hence, the numbering of carbon chain will start from the carbon of carboxylic acid. Here, $- OH$ group is attached to the fourth carbon.
