Part B:

Gingerol and shogaol differ with respect to the functional group that exists in the chain. Enter the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that would convert gingerol (C17H26O4) to shogaol (C17H24O3).

Explanation / Answer

Which of the functional groups are found in capsaicin = Phenol , Ether and alkene.

Which of the functional groups are found in both gingerol and shogaol = Phenol and Ether.

coversion of gingerol to shogaol is a dehydration reaction.

C17H26O4 -----> C17H24O3 + H2O
