What is the correct IUPAC name of the compound given below?
Chemical structure for Q44 - JEE Main 2025 Evening
Substituted benzene derivative with carboxyl, hydroxyl, bromo, and nitro substituents.

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula According to IUPAC rules for nomenclature of aromatic compounds: - Principal functional group has highest priority: -mathrmCOOH > -mathrmOH - The principal functional group carbon is designated as Carbon-1, and numbering is directed to give substituents the lowest possible locants. ### Core Logic Assign priority and number the ring: - Carbon-1: -mathrmCOOH (Carboxyl carbon, parent name 'benzoic acid') - Carbon-2: -mathrmOH (Hydroxyl substituent) - Carbon-3: -mathrmBr (Bromo substituent) - Carbon-5: -mathrmNO_2 (Nitro substituent) This numbering yields substituent locants at positions 2, 3, and 5. ### Step 1: Arrange alphabetically List the substituents alphabetically with locants: - 3-Bromo - 2-Hydroxy - 5-Nitro Combining these names: text3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzoic acid This matches Option (1). ### Pattern Recognition Carboxylic acid always dictates position 1 in ring numbering over alcohol. Numbering clockwise gives 2-hydroxy, 3-bromo, and 5-nitro, whereas counterclockwise numbering would yield much higher locants (2-nitro, 4-bromo, 5-hydroxy) which violates the lowest-locant rule. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques Class 12 Chemistry: Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

  • B. textOption 2
  • C. textOption 3
  • D. textOption 4

  • D. textC, D and E only

Solution

### Core Logic A. Propanal (CH_3CH_2CHO) and propanone (CH_3COCH_3) have different functional groups (aldehyde vs ketone) but the same molecular formula. They are functional isomers. (Correct) B. Ethoxyethane (C_2H_5-O-C_2H_5) and methoxypropane (CH_3-O-C_3H_7) differ in the alkyl chains attached to the polyvalent oxygen atom. They are metamers. (Correct) C. But-2-ene shows geometrical isomerism (cis-trans), but no optical isomerism as it lacks a chiral center. (Incorrect) D. But-1-ene and but-2-ene differ in the position of the double bond. They are position isomers, not functional isomers. (Incorrect) E. Pentane (straight chain) and 2,2-dimethyl propane (branched chain) have the same formula C_5H_12 but different carbon skeletons. They are chain isomers. (Correct) Correct statements: A, B, and E. ### Pattern Recognition Metamerism arises when there is a difference in the alkyl groups attached to a polyvalent functional group (e.g., -O-, -S-, -NH-, -CO-). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

A common mistake is to skip counting the methyl substituent carbons as mathrmsp^3. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution

### Related Formula textMethod Selection = fleft( Delta T_mathrmb, textdecomposition threshold, textvolatility with steam right) ### Core Logic Let's align each purification technique to its designated mixtures based on NCERT guidelines: - **(A) Simple distillation**: Used for liquids having a significant difference in their boiling points (>30~mathrmK or 30^circmathrmC). Chloroform (b.p. 334~mathrmK) and aniline (b.p. 457~mathrmK) are separated easily using simple distillation rightarrow **(III)**. - **(B) Fractional distillation**: Used if boiling point differences of the components are very close (less than 25~mathrmK). Separation of petrochemical fractions such as diesel and petrol uses this technique rightarrow **(I)**. - **(C) Distillation under reduced pressure**: Used for liquids that tend to decompose at or below their normal boiling points. Glycerol is separated from spent-lye in soap manufacturing industry using this vacuum method to prevent glycerol decomposition rightarrow **(IV)**. - **(D) Steam distillation**: Applied to substances which are steam-volatile and completely immiscible in water. Aniline and water are separated using this technique rightarrow **(II)**. ### Step 1: Conclusion Thus, the correct match is: **(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)** This corresponds perfectly to option (4). ### Pattern Recognition Glycerol from spent-lye is a highly tested practical chemistry concept. Remember that vacuum distillation lowers the boiling point, permitting evaporation without decomposition. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
