Question
Name the type of isomerism that the compound with molecular formula C3H6O2 exhibits. Represent the isomers.
Solution
Functional isomerism:
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{.................}\ce{O}\\
\phantom{................}//\\
\ce{CH_3 - CH_2 - C}\\
\phantom{.................}\backslash\\
\phantom{...................}\ce{O}
\end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{O}\phantom{................}\\
|\phantom{................}\\
\ce{CH_3 - C - OCH_3, HCOOC_2H_5}\\
\end{array}\]
Optical Isomerism:
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{........}\ce{OH}\phantom{...}\ce{H}\\
\phantom{.........}|\phantom{....}|\\
\ce{CH_3 - C - C}\\
\phantom{........}|\phantom{....}||\\
\phantom{........}\ce{H}\phantom{...}\ce{O}
\end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{H}\phantom{...}\ce{OH}\phantom{......}\\
|\phantom{....}|\phantom{.......}\\
\ce{C - C - CH_3}\\
||\phantom{....}|\phantom{.......}\\
\ce{O}\phantom{...}\ce{H}\phantom{.......}
\end{array}\]
