Question

Identify the functional groups present in the following compounds.

a.

b.

c.

Short answer

1. The functional groups alcohol, ketone, and alkene make up the molecular structure of testosterone.
2. The functional groups alcohol, aldehyde, and ethermake up the molecular structure of testosterone.
3. The carboxylic acid, ester, amide, and amine make up the molecular structure of "aspartame."

Step-by-step solution

Subpart (a) Identification of the given compound.

Three types of functional groups may be identified by looking at the given molecular structure:

First alcohol group, since the cyclo-pentane ring has an "OH group" linked to it,

The second ketone, since the structure's cyclohexane ring, has a "carboxylic group" linked to it.

Because two "methyl groups" are connected between two cyclic chains, this is the third type of group alkene.

Subpart (b) Identification of the given compound

Here, three different types of functional groups are present.

First alcohol group, since the cyclohexane ring has an "OH group" linked to it,

Second aldehyde, because "hydrogen atom" is attached to a "carboxylic group" that is attached to the structure's cyclohexane ring,

The third sort of group is ether because the "oxygen atom" is bonded between two alkene groups.

Subpart (c) Identification of the given compound.

Here, four sorts of functional groups are present in the structure.

First carboxylic acid, since the carboxyl group has an "OH group" linked to it;

The second ester, because "oxygen atom" is attached to a "carboxylic group" on one side and the methyl group on the other.

The third kind of group is amide because "NH" is attached to the carboxyl group.

The fourth group is amine since the carbon atom is connected to "${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{N}$’’
