What is the correct IUPAC name of [figure] ?

  1. 3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid
  2. 2-Hydroxy-3-bromo-5-nitrobenzoic acid
  3. 3-Bromo-4-hydroxy-1-nitrobenzoic acid
  4. 5-Nitro-3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoic acid

Answer

(1) 3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid

Solution

Principal functional group: –COOH parent name benzoic acid, and the ring carbon carrying –COOH is C-1.

Numbering towards –OH: OH at 2, Br at 3, NO2 at 5 locant set 2, 3, 5

Numbering the other way: NO2 at 3, Br at 5, OH at 6 locant set 3, 5, 6

The lowest locant set is 2, 3, 5.

Prefixes in alphabetical order: bromo, hydroxy, nitro.

IUPAC name: 3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid
