Chapter 11.5, Problem 11.13P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the carbonyl-containing functional groups in trandolapril should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Organic molecules have some structural features in addition to $\text{C}-\text{H}$ and $\text{C}-\text{C}$ bonds. Functional groups are defined as an atom or group of atom with characteristic physical and chemical properties. Functional group contains multiple bonds, hetero-atom or sometimes both the multiple bonds and hetero-atom.

This table gives information about the compounds containing $\text{C}=\text{O}$ group:
