Chapter 13, Problem 13.101QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Among the given compounds, a ketone compound is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The IUPAC nomenclature of organic compound is a method used for naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

Aldehydes and ketones contain carbonyl $\left(\text{C=O}\right)$ functional group in their parent chain and are named by adding prefix –al and –one to the name of the parent alkane. Carboxylic acids have carboxylic group $\left(\text{COOH}\right)$ in their parent chain and end their name by adding –oic acid. The functional group ketone consists of $\text{R}-\text{CO}-{\text{R}}^{\text{'}}$, where $\text{R}$ and ${\text{R}}^{\text{'}}$ are the alkyl groups.
