Concept introduction:
According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence rules the member that ranks higher can be determined by considering the atomic number of the first atom in each substituent. The atom with highest atomic number gets a higher rank. If a decision cannot be made by considering the atomic number of the first atom in each substituent then the second, third, fourth atoms can be considered until the first difference is found. Multiple bonded atoms are equivalent to the same number of single bonded atoms.

Answer to Problem 45AP
According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence rules the substituents can be ranked in the order -OCH3, -OH, -CO2H, -H.
Explanation of Solution
Two groups have oxygen as first atom, third one has carbon as the first atom and the fourth one is H. Their atomic numbers are 8, 1, 12 respectively. Both -OH, -OCH3 have O as the first atom. Hence the second, third and fourth atoms to which they are bonded are to be considered. Oxygen in -OH is bonded to H, while the oxygen in -OCH3 is bonded to carbon. Hence -OCH3 ranks higher than -OH. The substituent -CO2H ranks third and -H the fourth.
