Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the functional groups
The molecule on the sticker contains an ether functional group (R-O-R') and a ketone functional group (R-C(=O)-R').
Step 2: Classify the alcohol that would have produced this ketone
Ketones are formed by the oxidation of secondary alcohols.
Step 3: Determine the type of alcohol that forms the ether
Ethers are formed from the condensation of two alcohols. These can be primary, secondary or tertiary depending on the structure of the parent alcohols. The alcohol group reacting in this example is part of a secondary alcohol.
