A

1-hydroxypentane-1,4-dione

B

1,4-dioxopentanol

C

1,carboxybutan-3-one

D

4-oxopentanoic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`underset("4-Oxopentanoic acid")(overset(5)(C)H_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(.^(4)C)-.^(3)CH_(2)-.^(2)CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(.^(1)C)-OH)`
Accorting to the priority order of functional groups, `-COOH` is the principal functional group is preference to group. thus, -COOH group is assigned position 1 while naming the compound.
