Answer
Given Compound,
CH3-CH2-CH (OH)-CH2-COOH
Carboxylic acid should get the lowest possible number in the long carbon chain.And it is taken as principal functional group. (From ‘1’)IUPAC NAME = PREFIX + WORD ROOT + PRIMARY SUFFIX + SECONDARY SUFFIX
= ‘3-hydroxy’ + ‘pent’ + ‘an’ ‘e’ + ‘oic acid’
= 3-hydroxypentanoic acid
