Which from following statements is TRUE for the molecule?
Options
- A- OH is attached with sp ^2 hybrid carbon.
- B- OH is considered as principal functional group.
- CMolecular formula of this compound is C ₄ H ₉ O ₂ .
- DIUPAC name of this compound is 2-hydroxypentan-3-one.
Correct answer
D. IUPAC name of this compound is 2-hydroxypentan-3-one.
Step-by-step solution
The ketone group is considered as principal functional group and hydroxyl group is considered as substituent while naming this organic compound. So, option (A) is false, Molecular formula of this compound is C ₅ H ₁₀ O ₂ . So, option (B) is false. - OH is attached with sp ^3 hybrid carbon. So, option (C) is false. IUPAC name of this compound is 2-hydroxypentan-3-one. So, option (4) is true.
