The IUPAC name of the following compound is

Options

  1. A1-bromo-2-hydroxybenzonitrile
  2. B2-bromo-3-cyanophenol
  3. C2-bromo-3-hydroxy benzonitrile
  4. D3-hydroxy-2-brómobenzonitrile

Correct answer

C. 2-bromo-3-hydroxy benzonitrile

Step-by-step solution

The priority order for the given functionalities in - CN >- OH >- Br . The numbering will be done from - CN and in such a way that the groups get lowest number possible. Hence, the IUPAC name will be 2-bromo-3-hydroxy benzonitrile.
