MCQ
The $IUPAC$ name of the following compound is
  • A
    $4-$ Bromo $-3-$ cyanophenol
  • $2-$ Bromo $-5-$ hydroxy benzonitrile
  • C
    $2-$ Cyano $-4-$ hydroxy bromobenzene
  • D
    $6-$ Bromo $-3-$ hydroxy benzonitrile

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2-$ Bromo $-5-$ hydroxy benzonitrile
b
In this compound, the first priority is given to the $- CN$ functional group. So, the numbering will start from carbon attached to $- CN$ group.

Now, the lowest set of locant rule is considered.

Number $1$ is given to $- CN$ group, $- Br$ will be at the $2^{\text {nd }}$ position and $- OH$ will be at the $5^{\text {th }}$ position.

So, the name is $2$-bromo-$5$-hydroxybenzonitrile.
