3-Hydroxy-4-methylpentanoic acid
4,4-Dimethyl-3-hydroxybutanoic acid
2-Methyl-3-hydroxypentan-5-oic acid
4-Methyl-3-hydroxypentanoic acid
Explanation
Note :
1. Here -OH and -COOH functional group present. And priority of -COOH group is higher so numbering start from -COOH group.
2. Here -COOH acts as main functional group and -OH acts as substitute. So we take prefix of -OH group (Hydroxy) and suffix of -COOH group (-oic acid).
3. Here two substitude -CH3(methyl) and -OH(Hydroxy) present. And 'H' of Hydroxy comes before 'm' of methyl in alphabetical order. So IUPAC name stars with Hydroxy substitude.
