Q. 12.21

Draw the condensed structural formula of given compounds:

(a) Acetaldehyde

(b) $4 c h l o r o 2 p e n \tan o n e$

(d) $3 m e t h y l p e n \tan a l$

Verified

Answer

(a) The structural formula of Acetaldehyde is $C H_{3} C H O$

(b) The structural formula of $4 c h l o r o 2 p e n \tan o n e$ is $C H_{3} - C O - C H_{2} - C H C l - C H_{3}$

(d) The structural formula of $3 m e t h y l p e n \tan a l$ is $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H (C H_{3}) - C H_{2} - C H O$
