Question

Consider structures I to VII and answer the question

$I$

$II$

$III$

$IV$

$V$

$VI$

$VII$

Identify the pairs of compounds which are functional group isomers.

Answer 1

Functional group isomers :

Functional group isomers have different functional group.

Compounds $I$ to $IV$ have alcohol functional group and compounds $V$ to $VII$ have ether functional group. So, they are functional group isomers of each other.

Hence, $I$ and $V,I$ and $VI,I$ and $VII,II$ and $V,II$ and $VI,II$ and $VII,III$ and $V,III$ and $VI,III$ and $VII,IV$ and $V,IV$ and $VI,IV$ and $VII$ are pairs of functional group isomers.
