`3-`bromo`-2-`formyl phenol

D

`2-`bromo`-6-` hydroxy benzaldehyde

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Aldehyde has higher priority than hydroxyl group, hence suffix of aldehyde and prefix of hydroxyl is being used. Also, once priority is given to `-CHO`, remaining groups are treated similarly, `i.e.,` no secondary priority is given.

`2-` bromo`-6-`hydroxy benzaldehyde
Here, both `-OH` and `-Br` are at equal distance from `-CHO`, numbering is doen in alphabetical order.
