A student names five compounds that each carry two groups. Read the names. (i) is 3-hydroxybutanoic acid. (ii) is 3-cyanopropanal, because the aldehyde group ranks above the nitrile group. (iii) is 3-oxobutanamide. (iv) is 2-methoxyethan-1-ol. (v) is prop-1-en-3-ol, since the double bond gets the lowest locant. How many of the statements above are correct?
