Examine the chemical structure provided in the image. Identify the different functional groups present by looking for characteristic atoms or bonding patterns.
Look for the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a nitrogen atom, which indicates an amide functional group.
Identify the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) at the end of a carbon chain, which is characteristic of an aldehyde functional group.
Search for a carboxyl group (COOH), which is indicative of a carboxylic acid functional group.
Look for a carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C), which is characteristic of an alkyne functional group.
