What is the order of decreasing priority for functional groups?

Options

  1. A-OH, -NH 2 , -C≡C-, >C=O, -HC=O
  2. B-COOH, –SO3H, -COOR (R=alkyl group), COCl, -CONH2, -CN,-HC=O, >C=O, -OH, -NH2, > C=C
  3. C-C=C 2 , -NH 2
  4. D-R, C 6 H 5 , halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), alkoxy (–OR)

Correct answer

B. -COOH, –SO3H, -COOR (R=alkyl group), COCl, -CONH2, -CN,-HC=O, >C=O, -OH, -NH2, > C=C

Step-by-step solution

The paragraph provides the order of decreasing priority as: -COOH, –SO3H, -COOR (R=alkyl group), COCl, -CONH2, -CN,-HC=O, >C=O, -OH, -NH2, > C=C<, -C≡C-.
