Problem 12 : Write the structural formulae for the following compounds:
(a) Methyl isocyanate (b) Ethyl ethanoate (c) 3-Methylhexane (d) Butanal
Solution :
(a) Methyl isocyanate: [ \text{CH}_3 - \text{N} = \text{C} = \text{O} ]
(b) Ethyl ethanoate: [ \text{CH}_3 - \text{COOCH}_2\text{CH}_3 ]
(c) 3-Methylhexane: [ \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}(CH)_2 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 ]
(d) Butanal: [ \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CHO} ]
