Examine the structure of the compound provided in the image. Look for characteristic features of functional groups such as double bonds, nitrogen atoms, or carbonyl groups.
Identify any carbon-carbon double bonds (C=C) in the structure, which indicate the presence of an alkene functional group.
Look for a nitrogen atom bonded to a carbonyl group (C=O), which is characteristic of an amide functional group.
Check for any carbonyl groups (C=O) that are not bonded to nitrogen, which would indicate a ketone functional group.
Identify any nitrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms without a carbonyl group, which would suggest the presence of an amine functional group.
