1.	The IUPAC name of the following compound is : H_(3)C-overset(CH_(3))overset("\|")"CH"-overset(OH)overset("\|")"CH"-CH_(2)-COOH
Answer» 4-Methyl-3-hydroxypentanoic acid 2-Methyl-3-hydroxypentan-5-oic acid 3-Hydroxy-4-methylpentanoic acid 4,4-Dimethyl-3-hydroxybutanoic acid Solution :`H_(3)underset(5)C-overset(CH_(3))overset("\|")underset("4")"CH"-overset(OH)overset("\|")underset("3")"CH"-underset(2)CH_(2)-underset(1)COOH` Carboxylic group has HIGH priority than hydroxyl group so NUMBERING starts from carbon of carboxylic group. 3-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoic acid
