Question:
Find the IUPAC name of the compound.
Find the IUPAC name of the compound.
Show Hint
When naming substituted benzoic acids, always number the carbon atoms of the benzene ring starting from the carboxyl group to give the lowest possible numbers to the substituents.

- 3-Bromo-2-nitrobenzoic acid
- 2-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic acid
- 4-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic acid
- 3-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic acid
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The given compound is a substituted benzoic acid. We need to identify the positions of the substituents and name the compound according to the IUPAC rules. - The parent structure is benzoic acid, with a carboxyl group (-COOH) at position
1. - The other substituents are: - A bromine (Br) group attached at position
2. - A nitro (NO\(_2\)) group attached at position 3. Thus, the correct IUPAC name for this compound is 2-Bromo-3-nitrobenzoic acid.
