The IUPAC name for the following compound is $ \mathrm{BrCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH}_{2} \mathrm{COCH}_{3} $
  1. 1-bromohept-3-en-6-one
  2. 2-oxo-bromohept-4-one
  3. 7-bromo-2-oxohept-4-one
  4. 7-bromohept-4-en-2-one

Solution

Carbonyl group has more priority than double bond and bromine, so numbering should be start from carbonyl side. $ \mathrm{Br}_{7} - \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_2 - \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_2 - \mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H} = \mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H} - \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{C} \mathrm{O} - \mathrm{C}_{1} \mathrm{H}_3 $ Thus, the correct IUPAC name of the given compound is 7-bromohept-4-en-2-one. Hence, the correct option is (4)
