Textbook Question

Chapter 19.SE, Problem 57AP

Draw structures of compounds that fit the following descriptions:

a) An α, β-unsaturated ketone, C₉H₈O

b) An α-diketone

c) An aromatic ketone, C₉H₁₀O

d) A diene aldehyde, C₇H₈O

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.
