Question
--- ### Educational Content: Understanding Chemical Compounds **Question 8** **What is the name of this compound?** The image shows a chemical structure diagram featuring a fused ring system. The structure appears to be composed of two rings: 1. A six-membered ring containing nitrogen (N) atoms. 2. This ring is connected to a five-membered ring also containing nitrogen atoms. Additionally, there are substituents: - An NH₂ (amino) group attached to the six-membered ring. - An OH (hydroxyl) group attached to a sugar-like furanose ring, which is a separate pentose structure bonded to the fused ring system. This structure represents a typical nucleotide base with a sugar, resembling guanine attached to a ribose sugar, forming a nucleoside structure, likely guanosine. --- **Note:** The general molecular structure suggests it is a purine base attached to a ribose sugar. Such structures are commonly found in DNA and RNA, playing critical roles in genetic coding and cellular functions.
