Chemistry Question on carbonyl compounds

A carbamate contains:

A

A carbonate and an amide group

B

A carbonyl and an amide group

C

An amide and an ester group

D

A carbonyl and an ester group

Answer

An amide and an ester group

Explanation

Solution

A carbamate is a functional group that is derived from carbamic acid. Structurally, it contains both an ester group and an amide group. Specifically, the carbamate structure can be represented as:
[O=C(NR1R2)OR3][ {O=C(NR_{1}R_{2})OR_{3}} ]
Where (R1),(R2),and(R3)( R_{1} ), ( R_{2} ), and ( R_{3} ) are alkyl or aryl groups.
So, the correct answer is: C. An amide and an ester group
