- 2-Carboxy-5-methoxycarbonylhexane
- Methyl-6-carboxy-2,5-dimethylhexanoate
- Methyl-5-carboxy-2-methylhexanoate
- 6-Methoxycarbonyl-2,5-dimethylhexanoic acid
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The structure indicates that the compound has a carboxylic acid group at the 5th position and a methoxycarbonyl group at the 6th position, with methyl groups attached to the 2nd and 5th positions. Hence, the correct IUPAC name is:
\[
\text{6-Methoxycarbonyl-2,5-dimethylhexanoic acid}
\]
