Explanation of Solution
The compound 3-hydroxybutanoic acid is a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acid consist of carboxyl group. The general formula of carboxylic acid
Where,
In 3-hydroxybutanoic acid,
The parent carbon chain is butane (four carbon atoms), since it is a carboxylic acid, it becomes butanoic acid.
The carboxyl group occupies the first position and a hydroxyl group is attached in the third position.
The structure of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid is,
(c)
Interpretation:Interpretation:The structure of 2-aminopropanal has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : Aldehydes contains the carbonyl group.
In aldehydes, the carbonyl group is attached at the end of the hydrocarbon chain. The carbonyl carbon has to be bonded to atleast one hydrogen.
Aldehydes have a general formula of
(c)
Answer to Problem 71A
The structure of 2-aminopropanal is,
Explanation of Solution
The compound 2-aminopropanal is an aldehyde.Aldehydes are organic compounds that have a carbonyl carbon attached to atleast one hydrogen atom. The general formula of aldehyde is
The general structure of an aldehyde is,
Where,
In 2-aminopropanal,
The parent carbon chain is propane (three carbon atoms), since it is an aldehyde, the name becomes propanal.
The carbonyl group occupies the first position and the substituent amino group is attached to the carbon at second position.
The structure of 2-aminopropanal is,
(d)
Interpretation:The structure of 2,4-hexanedione has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
In ketones, the carbonyl group is bond to two carbon atoms. The general formula of a ketone is
In a ketone, the carbonyl group is not present at the end of the hydrocarbon chain.
(d)
Answer to Problem 71A
The structure of 2,4-hexanedione is,
Explanation of Solution
The compound 2,4-hexanedione is a ketone. Ketones contain carbonyl group.
In ketones, the carbonyl group is bond to two carbon atoms. The general formula of a ketone is
Where,
In a ketone, the carbonyl group is not present at the end of the hydrocarbon chain.
In 2,4-hexanedione, there would be two keto groups (carbonyl groups) present the carbon-2 and carbon-4.
The parent carbon chain is hexane (six carbon atoms), since it is ketone consisting of two carbonyl groups, it is named as hexanedione.
The structure of 2,4-hexanedione is,
(e)
