Chapter 22: Problem 17

In each of the following, name the functional group (i.e., ester, aldehyde, ...). (a) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{OH}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Based on the given information, the functional groups present in the compound \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{OH}\) are alkene (due to the double bond between two carbon atoms) and alcohol (due to the hydroxyl group at the end of the compound).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the functional group present in the compound

The given compound is \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{OH}\). Let's break it down: 1. There is a double bond between two carbon atoms: \(\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\). 2. There is an alcohol group (hydroxyl group) at the end: \(\mathrm{OH}\). Therefore, it has an alkene functional group and an alcohol functional group.
02

Name the functional group

Since the compound has an alkene functional group and an alcohol functional group, we can say that the given compound has two functional groups: 1. Alkene: Due to the presence of the double bond between two carbon atoms. 2. Alcohol: Due to the presence of the hydroxyl group at the end of the compound. Thus, the functional groups present in the given compound are alkene and alcohol.
