Question

Question: Draw the structure of a compound of molecular formula ${\mathit{C}}_{\mathbf{4}}{\mathit{H}}_{\mathbf{11}}\mathit{N}\mathit{O}$that fits each description: a. a compound that contains a ${\mathbf{1}}^{\mathbf{0}}$amine and a ${\mathbf{3}}^{\mathbf{0}}$alcohol; b. a compound that contains a ${\mathbf{3}}^{\mathbf{0}}$ amine and a ${\mathbf{1}}^{\mathbf{0}}$alcohol.

Short answer

Answer

a.

b.

Step-by-step solution

Amine and alcohol

Amines contain nitrogen with replaceable hydrogen.The functional group in amine is $N{H}_2$. The alkyl groups replace the same number of hydrogen atoms in amine.

The functional group in alcohol is the hydroxyl (-OH) group.

Step 2:Classification of amines in a compound

The classification of amines is as follows:

• If the nitrogen is attached with one carbon is known as $1^0$ amine.
• If the nitrogen is attached to two carbon atoms is known as $2^0$ amine.
• If the nitrogen is attached with three carbon atoms, then the compound is known as $3^0$amine.

Classification of Alcohols 

The classification of alcohol is as follows:

• The $1^0$alcohol is attached to $1^0$carbon.
• The $2^0$alcohol is attached to $2^0$carbon.
• The $3^0$alcohol is attached to $3^0$carbon.

Explanation

a. The molecular structure of $C_4{H}_{11}NO$containing $1^0$amine and $3^0$alcohol is represented as:

Molecular structure of $C_4{H}_{11}NO$

b. The molecular structure of $C_4{H}_{11}NO$containing $3^0$amine and $1^0$alcohol is represented as:

Molecular structure of$C_4{H}_{11}NO$
