Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsIdentify the parent chain.
The compound contains a carboxylic acid () group, which is the highest priority functional group. We identify the longest continuous carbon chain that includes this group.
Starting from the carbon of the group (C1):
(attached to and )
(attached to and )
(attached to )
The longest chain containing the carboxylic acid group has 7 carbons. Therefore, the parent name is heptanoic acid.Number the carbon chain and identify substituents.
The carbon of the group is always designated as C1.
- At C3: Bromine () and a Methyl () group.
- At C5: Fluorine () and a Hydroxyl () group.
- At C6: A Methyl () group.
Assemble the name.
List the substituents in alphabetical order. Prefixes like "di-" are ignored for alphabetical ordering.
The substituents are:- Bromo (at C3)
- Fluoro (at C5)
- Hydroxy (at C5)
- Methyl (at C3 and C6, so 3,6-dimethyl)
Arranging them alphabetically: Bromo, Fluoro, Hydroxy, Dimethyl.
