Chapter 26: Problem 17

Identify the functional group in each compound (i.e., alcohol, amine, etc.). (a) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHBrCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\) (b) \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CHO}\) (c) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\) (d) \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{4}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) The functional group is an Alkyl Halide. (b) The functional group is an Aldehyde. (c) The functional group is a Ketone. (d) The functional group is a Phenol.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Functional Group in (\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHBrCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3})

Identifying the functional group involves looking for the distinctive group of atoms. Here, the Bromine (Br) atom attached to the carbon chain indicates that this molecule is an Alkyl Halide.
02

Identify the Functional Group in (\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CHO})

In this molecule, the distinctive functional group is the \(\mathrm{CHO}\) group at the end of the carbon chain, which is indicative of an Aldehyde.
03

Identify the Functional Group in (\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3})

The \(\mathrm{CO}\) group in the middle of the carbon chains suggests that this molecule is a Ketone, since ketones have a carbonyl functional group (\(\mathrm{C=O}\)) within the carbon chain.
04

Identify the Functional Group in (\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{4}(\mathrm{OH})_{2})

The presence of the two Hydroxyl (\(\mathrm{OH}\)) groups in the compound is a distinctive feature of a Phenol, a special kind of Alcohol where the hydroxyl group is directly attached to a benzene ring.
