Chapter 17, Problem 17.84GP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Four examples for beta-lactam antibiotics have to be drawn. The functional group in each beta-lactam antibiotic and the common feauture in all the four examples have to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules which are determine the characteristic reactions taking place in it.

Carboxylic acid: One OH group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCOOH

Ester: One OR' group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCOOR'. The hydrogen atom of COOH is replaced by an alkyl group.

Amide: One NH2, NHR' or NR'2 group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCONR'2.

Alkene: Unsaturated hydrocarbons having atleast one double bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkenes.

Ether: Ether is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by an oxygen atom. It is represented as ROR'.

Amines are the derivatives of ammonia (NH3) with one or more of the hydrogens replaced with a substituent such as an alkyl group.

Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the nitrogen, different types of amines can form.

Lactam: They are cyclic amides where the carbonyl carbon part of carboxylic acid group and nitrogen part of amine group of the same compound attached forming a ring. Beta-lactam is a membered ring with two carbon atoms.
