Chapter 12, Problem 12.35AP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of an amide with formula ${\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_9\text{NO}$ has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

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

Amide: One $-N{H}_2$, $-NHR\text{'}$ or $-NR{\text{'}}_2$ group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as $RCONR{\text{'}}_2$.

Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the amide, different types of amides can form.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of an aldehyde which has a ring of carbons with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_8{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}\text{O}$ has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

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

Aldehyde: One alkyl group and a hydrogen atom are attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound.  It is represented as $RCHO$.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of an aromatic compound which is an ether with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_8{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}\text{O}$ has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

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

Ether: Ether is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by an oxygen atom. It is represented as $\text{ROR'}$ .
