- C

- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Recall the IUPAC priority order of principal functional groups
For naming organic compounds, the relevant decreasing order of priority among the listed groups is:
More specifically for the groups appearing in the options:
-
Check option A
Option A says:
But acid chloride has higher priority than amide:
So A is incorrect.
-
Check option B
Option B says:
This matches the standard priority order:
So B is correct.
-
Check option D
Option D says:
But acid chloride has higher priority than amide:
Therefore D is incorrect.
-
Conclusion
The correct decreasing order given in the options is: oxed{- ext{SO}_3 ext{H} > - ext{COCl} > - ext{CONH}_2 > - ext{CN}}
Hence, the correct option is B.
