Chapter 10, Problem 55Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structure of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride has to be drawn and the functional groups present on it have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules which are determine the characteristic reactions taking place in it.

Ketone: Ketone is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by a carbonyl group. It is represented as $RC\left(=O\right)R\text{'}$.

Carboxylic acid: One $-OH$ group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as $RCOOH$

Amines are the derivatives of ammonia $\left(N{H}_3\right)$ with one or more of the hydrogens replaced with a substituent such as an alkyl group.

Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the nitrogen, different types of amines can form.

Aromatic Compounds: Compounds that are planar, cyclic and having $\left(4n+2\right)\pi$ electrons are known as aromatic compounds.
