Chapter 2, Problem 2.50AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure for the isomeric amides having the molecular formula C4H9NO is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Constitutional isomers have the same molecular formula but they differ in the pattern in which atoms are connected. They contain either different functional groups or bonding patterns or both. There are different types of isomers but constitutional isomers differ only in the spatial arrangement of atoms.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of isomeric amides which do not contain isopropyl groups is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Amides are the derivatives of carboxylic acids and are generally formed when carboxylic acid reacts with ammonia followed by the release of water. Constitutional isomers have the same molecular formula but they differ in the pattern in which atoms are connected. They contain either different functional groups or bonding patterns or both.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of compound X containing both alcohol and amine functional group and having the molecular formula C4H9NO is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Constitutional isomers have the same molecular formulabut they differ in the pattern in which atoms are connected. They contain either different functional groups or bonding patterns or both. There are different types of isomers but constitutional isomers differ only in the spatial arrangement of atoms.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Whether the compound having molecular formula C4H9NO can have a nitrile group or not is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Nitrile functional group is the group having the general formula of RCN. The nitrile group is also known as the cyano group and both of them can be used as a prefix in IUPAC nomenclature interchangeably.
