Verified step by step guidance1
Examine the structure of the compound provided in the image. Identify the different parts of the molecule to determine the functional groups present.
Look for the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) in the structure. This indicates the presence of an alkene functional group.
Identify the carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a nitrogen atom (N). This combination of atoms is characteristic of an amide functional group.
Check for any other functional groups such as ketones, which would be indicated by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms. In this structure, the carbonyl is bonded to a nitrogen, not two carbons, confirming it is not a ketone.
Conclude that the functional groups present in the compound are an alkene and an amide, based on the analysis of the molecular structure.
