What are the functional groups in paracetamol?

The functional groups in paracetamol include an amide group (-NH-CO-), a phenol group (-OH), and an aromatic ring system.


What functional groups are in paracetamol?

Acetazolamide contains a weakly acidic sulphonamide group, SO2NH2 as well as what is considered a peptide link, CONH but is named as an amide functional group. These groups are joined to a cyclic 5-membered ring, containing 2 Nitrogens doubly bonded to carbons in the ring (azomethine?) and a Sulfur member.


How does paracetamol dissolve in propanone?

Paracetamol dissolves in propanone due to the polar nature of both substances. Paracetamol contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an amide group, which can form hydrogen bonds with the polar carbonyl group of propanone. This interaction facilitates the solvation of paracetamol molecules in the propanone solvent, allowing it to dissolve effectively. The overall process is driven by the principles of solubility, where "like dissolves like."


Does paracetamol contain a phenol group?

Yes, paracetamol (acetaminophen) contains a phenol group in its chemical structure. This phenol group is responsible for its analgesic and antipyretic properties.
