Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Functional groups should be identified given the aldosterone molecule.
Concept Introduction:
Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules which are determine the characteristic reactions taking place in it.
Carbonyl group:
A carbon atom is double-bonded to an oxygen atom
If the carbonyl carbon is attached with two alkyl or aryl group is called as
A hemiacetal or a hemiketal: addition of alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone which produce hemi acetal.
Alcohol:
The compound contains hydroxyl
Example is given below
Alkenes are a class of hydrocarbons. The carbon-carbon double bond is called as alkenes and it is also called as olefins.
