Question:
The IUPAC name of HOCH\(_2\)(CH\(_2\))\(_3\)CH\(_2\)COCH\(_3\) is
The IUPAC name of HOCH\(_2\)(CH\(_2\))\(_3\)CH\(_2\)COCH\(_3\) is
Show Hint
When naming organic compounds, identify the functional groups (like alcohol and ketone) and number the carbon chain based on the position of these groups.
Updated On: Mar 6, 2025
- 2-oxo-heptan-7-ol
- 7-hydroxyheptan-2-one
- hydroxyheptan-6-one
- 2-oxo-heptan-7-ol
- hydroxy pentyl methyl ketone
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The given structure HOCH\(_2\)(CH\(_2\))\(_3\)CH\(_2\)COCH\(_3\) has a hydroxyl group at position 7 and a ketone group at position 2 on the 7-carbon chain. Therefore, the IUPAC name is 7-hydroxyheptan-2-one.
Thus, the correct answer is (B).
