1. The compound contains two functional groups , a nitrile and a carboxylic acid. 2. In electrophilic substitution in aliphatic compounds, an electrophile displaces a functional group . 3. The carbamate functional group readily hydrolyses in water, and in bodily conditions. 4. Complexation and solvation is also caused by specific interactions of functional groups . 5. The Hosomi-Sakurai reaction can be performed on a number of functional groups . 6. It is a colorless liquid that contains sulfoxide and disulfide functional groups . 7. Various other nucleophiles can be used to generate other acyl functional groups . 8. These functional groups lock on to anticoagulants like Heparin decreasing thrombogenicity. 9. It contains both a thiol ( mercaptan ) and carboxylic acid functional groups . 10. This is especially useful in synthesizing carboxylic acids with other fragile functional groups .
