Identify the correct order of the priority of the following functional group.
Options
- A- COCl > - CHO > C = C > - C C -
- B- CHO > - COCl > C = C > - C C -
- CC = C > - CHO > - COCl > - C C -
- D- C C - > C = C > - CHO > - COCl
Correct answer
A. - COCl > - CHO > C = C > - C C -
Step-by-step solution
According to IUPAC nomenclature rules, the priority order of principal functional groups is: Carboxylic acids > Acid anhydrides > Esters > Acid chlorides > Amides > Nitriles > Aldehydes > Ketones > Alcohols > Amines > Alkenes > Alkynes. Therefore, the correct order of priority for the given functional groups is: - COCl > - CHO > C = C > - C C - Answer: - COCl > - CHO > C = C > - C C -
