Chapter 25.2, Problem 5CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the given molecule, the functional groups are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

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

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

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

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