NEET2010ChemistryGeneral Organic ChemistryActual
Assertion : is 3-carbethoxy- 2-butenoic acid. Reason : Principal functional group gets lowest number followed by double bond or triple bond.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
Here since - COOH is the principal functional group, it gets the lowest number than the secondary functional group (3-carbethoxy). So it is 3-carbethoxy-2-butenoic acid.
