Chapter 11, Problem 11.62P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The functional groups in the aspartame molecule that acts as a sweetener should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds are said to be organic chemistry. The atom or group of atoms that are responsible for all special chemical and physical properties of a substance is called a functional group. These groups are bonded to the parent carbon chain of the organic molecule.
