Detailed Solution

  • The compound contains 3 methyl groups and one ethyl group attached to the parent hydrocarbon of 6 carbon atoms. It is a carboxylic acid.
  • The compound contains a carboxylic acid group. The numbering is done from that carbon atom which has -COOH attached to it as it has higher priority than the -OH group.
  • Hence, there is -COOH present at position 1, -OH group is present at position 5, three methyl groups present at positions 2,3,4 respectively. A double bond is present at the position 3 in the carbon chain.

so the correct IUPAC name is 5-Hydroxy-2,3,4-trimethyl-3-hexenoicacid
