Chapter 22.3, Problem 14SSC

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The type of given carbonyl compound needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The functional group is the group present on the main carbon chain of an organic compound. It determines the chemical properties and the type of reactions an organic compound can show. The name of the group depends on the atoms present in the group for example an −OH group contains O and H atom thus, it is a hydroxyl group. The different functional groups are named according to IUPAC rule.

Name of some functional groups are: -OH: alcohol, -CHO: aldehyde, -COOH: carboxylic acid etc.

Answer to Problem 14SSC

Ester.

Explanation of Solution

The given organic compound is as follows:

In the above organic compound, the general formula is R-COOR’ thus, it is an ester.
