Organic Chemical Structures and Functional Groups

Vocabulary flashcards identifying organic molecular structures and functional groups from structural diagrams.

Methyl acetate ($CH_3COOCH_3$)

An ester containing a carbonyl group ($C=O$) linked to a methoxy group ($-OCH_3$) and a methyl group ($-CH_3$).

N-Methylacetamide ($CH_3CONHCH_3$)

A secondary amide containing a carbonyl group ($C=O$) bonded to a nitrogen atom attached to a hydrogen atom and a methyl group ($-NHCH_3$).

Acetaldehyde ($CH_3CHO$)

An aldehyde containing a carbonyl group ($C=O$) attached directly to a methyl group ($-CH_3$) and a hydrogen atom ($-H$).

Acetone ($CH_3COCH_3$)

A ketone featuring a central carbonyl group ($C=O$) bonded to two methyl groups ($-CH_3$).

Methanol ($CH_3OH$)

An alcohol consisting of a methyl group ($-CH_3$) bound directly to a hydroxyl group ($-OH$).
