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]
Where (R1),(R2),and(R3)are alkyl or aryl groups.
So, the correct answer is: C. An amide and an ester group
