Chapter 12, Problem 12.43P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three constitutional isomers, an alcohol, a ketone and one cyclic ether with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\text{O}$ should be drawn.

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 molecular formula of the organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols. The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with chemical bonds and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule. Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
