Answer
The substitutents are:
- 1 Amino (H2N)
- 1 Chloro (Cl)
- 1 Bromo (Br)
- 1 Fluoro (F)
Work Step by Step
1. Identify the parent chain:
In this case, since there are no bifurcations, all carbons will be on the parent line. But don't forget the functional group, which is the carboxylic acid.*
* In this molecule we got an amine and a carboxylic acid, but, carboxylic acids have priority (Check list on pages 84-85), and there is only one space for a functional group in the parent chain, therefore, the amine will not be included.
2. Check the atoms, or groups, that are left:
- 1 Amine (H2N)
- 1 Chloride (Cl)
- 1 Bromide. (Br)
- 1 Fluoride. (F)
3. Give them the proper names:
- Amine groups are called by "Amino".
- Chloride groups are called "Chloro".
- Bromide groups are called "Bromo".
- Fluoride groups are called "Fluoro".
