Nomenclature of Organic Compounds Previous Year Questions — JEE Main Chemistry

1 past-year Nomenclature of Organic Compounds questions from JEE Main (Chemistry).

Q1475 (2024)

According to IUPAC system, the compound {{IMG1}} is named as :
  1. Cyclohex-1-en-2-ol
  2. 1-Hydroxyhex-2-ene
  3. Cyclohex-1-en-3-ol
  4. Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol
### Related Formula Principal functional group priority rules: $-\text{OH} > \text{Alkene}$. ### Core Logic According to IUPAC nomenclature priority rules, the principal functional group is the alcohol group ($-\text{OH}$). The ring numbering starts at the carbon containing the $-\text{OH}$ group as C1. Numbering then proceeds towards the double bond to give it the lowest possible position numbers. This designates C2 and C3 for the double bond carbons, making it a 'cyclohex-2-en-1-ol'. ### Step 1: Final Assignment Hence, combining the root and suffix gives the correct systematic designation: Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol. ### Pattern Recognition Always number functional cyclic systems to prioritize principal suffixes ($-\text{OH}$) first, then provide minimal numbers to unsaturation points. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Nomenclature of Organic Compounds
