I have a compound that I need to name and I am a little lost. The molecular formula is C7H15SO3H. The SO3H group is attached on the third carbon of a hexane chain, which also has a methyl group on the second carbon. I am unsure as to whether the SO3H group is a substituent or a principle group and we haven't gone over naming acids or compounds with sulfur (except thiols). Anyway the names I came up with are the following:
2-methylhexane-3-sulfonic acid
2-methyl-3-hexanesulfonic acid
2-methyl-3sulfohexane
Have any idea which of these may be right or what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
