Functional Groups

Additional Exercises-

Exercise 1 Each of the structures in the following table is a prescription drug manufactured by SmithKline Beecham. Click on a button to select a structure, then identify the functional groups in it by clicking on the appropriate choices from the list of check boxes in the left hand frame.

Fastin® is an appetite suppresant.	Relafen® is an antiinflammatory drug.	Requip™ is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Androderm® is more commonly known as testosterone.	Thorazine® is a tranquilizer.	Augmentin® is an antibiotic in the penicillin family.

Exercise 2 Use the JME Editor to draw each of the following structures in bond-line notation. Then paste the SMILES for that structure into the appropriate text field.

Exercise 3 Indicate the number of carbon atoms of each type for each of the following structures.

Structure	1o	2o	3	4o

Exercise 4 A saturated hydrocarbon with a molecular formula C₁₀H₁₈ contains only 2^o and 3^o carbon atoms. What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of this compound? How many rings are there in this structure? Enter the SMILES for the structure in the text field.

Exercise 5 Here's a tough one: A saturated hydrocarbon with a molecular formula C₈H₈ contains only 3^o carbon atoms. What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of this compound? How many rings are there in this structure? Enter the SMILES for the structure in the text field.

Exercise 6 Here's another tough one: A saturated hydrocarbon with a molecular formula C₅H₆ contains only 2^o hydrogen atoms. What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of this compound? How many rings are there in this structure? Enter the SMILES for the structure in the text field.
