Answer:
Explanation:
Hey mate I think I'll need this answer to solve ur query
See that u number the chain as by taking the help of the secondary suffix table
If you are trying to say that why didn't we number the chain clockwise
And why anticlockwise
See first rule is that:
If we have to number a cycloalkene which has many functional groups
We will start numbering from the highest
Second rule is that:
Now we have got a functional group then we don't need to head towards other functional groups
So we chosed to move the chain anticlockwise as we a double bond their
Hope it helps
If u want more explanation u can just comment down here I ll give more
Thank you
Answer:You answer is WRONG FRIEND.
Explanation:Since, carboxylic acid is the senior most group in this compound all other Functional Groups will now act as a SUBSTITUENT. Since, SUBSTITUENTS HAVE LOWER PRIORITY THAN DOUBLE BOND, we will count towards it. Hence, 4-Aminomethyl-6-hydroxycyclohex-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid is an absolutely correct answer.
