Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Based on the given structure count and classify the hydroxyl groups as primary, secondary and tertiary.

Concept Introduction:

The alcoholic groups are represented by an OH group on a carbon.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Based on the given structure count and classify the amine groups as primary, secondary and tertiary.

Concept Introduction:

The amine groups are represented by an N- group on a carbon.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Based on the given structure identify the ester group.

Concept Introduction:

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

In the given structure draw the possible interamolecular hydrogen bonds and count the members in the ring formed due to the bond. One bond hydrogen bond is shown for your reference.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrogen bond is formed between hydrogen directly bonded to a highly electronegative element (F, O or N) and another highly electronegative elements atom (F, O or N).
