In addition to being used to flavor food, guaiacol can also be used to create other flavorants.
To create these other flavorants, scientists react guaiacol in different chemical reactions. The flavorants that are produced in these reactions are known as guaiacol derivatives. Guaiacol derivatives have chemical structures that are based on the chemical structure of guaiacol.
The models below show the chemical structures of guaiacol and two of its derivatives.
C H O
guaiacol
guaiacol derivative A
guaiacol derivative B
Complete the table to describe what the chemical structures of the two guaiacol derivatives have in common with the chemical structure of guaiacol.
Parts of the chemical structure of guaiacol | Chemical structure of derivative A | Chemical structure of derivative B
a ring made up of six carbon atoms
an oxygen atom connected to a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom
exactly seven carbon atoms
an oxygen atom connected to two carbon atoms

Answer

Select the boxes as follows:

  1. A ring made up of six carbon atoms: Check both derivative A and derivative B.
  2. An oxygen atom connected to a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom: Check both derivative A and derivative B.
  3. Exactly seven carbon atoms: Check neither. Derivative A has eight carbon atoms, and derivative B has nine.
  4. An oxygen atom connected to two carbon atoms: Check both derivative A and derivative B.
