Question
Chapter 16, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the aldehyde having the molecular formula C8H16O which has the six carbon atoms in the longest chain is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

An aldehyde refers to a chemical compound which contains -CHO functional group that consists of a carbonyl center (carbon -oxygen double bond) provided that the carbon atom is attached to hydrogen and R group of the carbon chain. A molecular formula depicts the chemical symbols for the elements constituting the given molecule such that each symbol contains a numerical subscript that describes the number of atoms of each atom present in the molecule.

  General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 16, Problem 15P , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

To draw the structure of an aldehyde having the molecular formula C8H16O which has the six carbon atoms in the longest chain, one needs to draw a carbon chain containing six carbon atoms in the longest chain and the -CHO group is present at the terminal position. After drawing six carbon atoms in the longest chain, 2 remaining carbon atoms can be substituted on the C atom/s in the main chain.

Thus, the structure of the aldehyde can be represented as follows:

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of the ketone having molecular formula C6H12O and five carbon atoms in the longest chain is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In chemistry a ketone functional group refers to the structure with general molecular formula RC(=O) R’ where R and R' can be same or different alkyl groups. A molecular formula depicts the chemical symbols for the elements constituting the given molecule such that each symbol contains a numerical subscript that describes the number of atoms of each atom present in the molecule.

Explanation of Solution

To draw the structure of ketone having molecular formula C6H12O and five carbon atoms in the longest chain, one needs to draw a carbon chain containing five carbon atoms in the longest chain. After drawing five carbon atoms in the longest chain, 1 remaining carbon atom can be substituted on the C atom in the main chain.

The structure so formed is shown below:
