Which compound shown below is the correct structure for ethyl 2-bromobenzoate?

Transcribed Image Text:The image displays four chemical structures labeled A, B, C, and D:
**A**: This structure is an ester with an ethoxy group connected to a carbonyl group, which is bonded to a phenyl ring. Additionally, there is a bromine atom attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group.
**B**: This structure is also an ester, characterized by a methoxy group linked to a carbonyl group, bonded to a phenyl ring. A bromine atom is attached to the carbon next to the carbonyl carbon.
**C**: This ester includes an ethyl group connected to a carbonyl group, which is connected to a phenyl ring. There is a bromine atom attached to the ethyl group's terminal carbon.
**D**: In this structure, an ethoxy group is connected to a carbonyl group, bonded to a phenyl ring. The terminal carbon of the ethoxy group also carries a bromine atom.
Each diagram depicts a distinct ester configuration with variations in the position and type of alkoxy groups and the placement of bromine atoms.
Expert Solution

Step 1
INTRODUCTION:
For nomenclature of ester we should remember two things---
1) the first word of the name of an ester is the name of alkyl or aromatic group. It comes from an alcohol (directly attached to oxygen),use yl.
2)then the part which comes from the acid end use 'ate' at last with the common name of acid inspite of use 'oic acid'.
