Problem: Identify the family to which the compound (b) belongs.
FREE Expert Solution
Recall the following functional groups:
- Alkane → hydrocarbons with C-C single bond only
- Alkene → hydrocarbons with C-C double bond/s
- Alkyne → hydrocarbons with C-C triple bond/s
- Alcohol → R-OH; where R is an alkyl group
- Aldehyde → R-CHO; where R is an alkyl group
- Ether → R-O-R' → where R and R' are alkyl groups
- Ester → RCOOR' → where R and R' are alkyl groups
- Ketone → RC(=O)R'; where R and R' are alkyl groups
- Amine → R-NH2; where R is an alkyl group
- Amide → RC(=O)NR′R″; where R, R′, and R″ represent organic groups or hydrogen atoms
- Carboxylic acid → R-COOH; where R is an alkyl group
