Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The decreasing order of priority of prefix in numbering the carbon chain of an organic compound is bromo `gt` chloro `gt` iodo. `underset("3-bromo-2-chloro-4-iodohexane")(overset(1)CH_(3)-undersetunderset(Cl)(|)overset(2)CH-undersetunderset(Br)(|)overset(3)CH-undersetunderset(I)(|)overset(4)CH-overset(5)CH_(2)-overset(6)CH_(3))`
