Homework Statement
What functional groups are present based on the compound's names?
A. Methyl Hydroxybenzoate
B. 2-Hydroxypropanoic acid
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
We've learned about the basic Hydrocarbon derivatives in class, but only dealing with problems
like propanoic acid or methanoic acid, methyl propanoate or ethyl methanoate. These I fully understand them, but I can't quite understand how to disassemble this problem and find it's functional groups.
Any help with be appreciated.
