The oxygen containing groups in abscisic acid are to be classified.

Concept introduction:

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds containing usually hydrogen and one or more additional elements, such asoxygen, halogens, and so on.

The functional groups provide a specific property to the compound and make them different from other compounds bearing any other functional groups.

Functional groups are specific substituent within the molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reaction of those molecules.

Carboxylic acids are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{COOH}$ as a functional group.

Esters are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{COO}-$ as a functional group.

Alcohols are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{OH}$ as a functional group.

Ketones are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{CO}-$ as a functional group.

Amines are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{N}$ as a functional group.

Amides are the organic compounds thatcontain $-{\text{CONH}}_2$ as a functional group.

Aldehydes are the organic compounds thatcontain $-\text{CHO}$ as a functional group.
