Draw the skeletal structure for each of the compounds

1. CH3CHO

2. CH3OCH3

3. CH3COOH

Short Answer

Expert verified

Skeletal structures are structural representations of condensed organic compounds. Unlike Kekule structures here the carbon or hydrogen atoms are not mentioned in the structure. The bonds are represented with short straight lines.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding skeletal structure

Skeletal structures are structural representations of condensed organic compounds. Unlike Kekule structures here the carbon or hydrogen atoms are not mentioned in the structure. The bonds are represented with short straight lines.

02

writing the skeletal structure

First write the condensed formula from the pictorial representation. Then eventually convert the condensed forms into skeletal structures.

An unknown disaccharide gives a positive Tollens’ test. A glycosidase hydrolyzes it to d-galactose and d-mannose. When the disaccharide is treated with methyl iodide and Ag2O and then hydrolyzed with dilute HCl, the products are 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methylmannose. Propose

a structure for the disaccharide.
