Question

Consider the following organic compound:

$C H_{3} - C H (O H) - C \equiv C - C H_{2} - CO - C H_{2} - COO H$

Let:

X = The total number of carbon atoms in the principal (longest) carbon chain.
Y = The locant (position number) of the principal functional group.
Z = The total number of prefix-type substituents attached to the principal chain.

Calculate the value of (X - Y - Z).
