Chapter 17, Problem 17.39P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of a compound with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{11}}\text{NO}$ that contains primary amide group should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester, or amide.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of a compound with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{11}}\text{NO}$ that contains secondary amide group should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols.

Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester, or amide.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of a compound with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{11}}\text{NO}$ that contains tertiary amide group should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester, or amide.
