Vanillin, C8H8O3, is the active ingredient in vanilla flavoring. It contains a six-membered aromatic ring with an aldehyde group
on carbon 1, an alkoxy group (ether) on carbon 3, and a hydroxyl group (alcohol) on carbon 4. Draw the structure of vanillin.

Answer:
The answer is in the picture attached
Explanation:
A six-membered aromatic ring is one of the most common structures in natural compounds.
The aldehyde group in position one consist in one carbon double-bonded to oxygen and bonded to hydrogen.
The alkoxy group in position three consist in a oxygen bonded to an alkyl group (The simplest alkyl group is methyl -CH₃-).
There is, in position four, an hydroxyl group -OH. bonded to this six-membered aromatic ring.
