Question

multiple answer 2 points identify the functional groups in the structure of lipitor (tm). chemical structure image carboxylic acid aromatic hydrocarbon alcohol aldehyde ketone amide

Explanation:

• Carboxylic acid: The structure has \(-\text{COOH}\) (last group), so this is present.
• Aromatic hydrocarbon: There are benzene rings (aromatic rings), so this is present.
• Alcohol: There are \(-\text{OH}\) groups (not part of acid), so this is present.
• Amide: The \(-\text{CONH}-\) group (between benzene and the ring) is an amide.
• Aldehyde (\(-\text{CHO}\)) and Ketone (\(\text{C}=\text{O}\) with two alkyls) are not present as per the structure.

Answer:

A. carboxylic acid, B. aromatic hydrocarbon, C. Alcohol, F. amide
