Question

Draw the full structures of these compounds and identify the functional groups.

a) CH2=CHCONH(CH2)2CN
b) EtO2CCH2OCOEt​

Answer 1

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a) In this case, since oxygen there is present as C=O, as shown on the attached picture, we can see the following functional groups:

- Double bond (alkene).

- Amide group.

- Nitrile group.

b) In this case, since Et suggest an ethyl radical (CH3-CH2-) and the presence of those 2 oxygen atoms accounts for carboxyl, we have:

- Two carboxyl groups for an ethyl propanedioate ester.

Best regards!
