Indigo is the dye used in blue jeans. Although originally extracted from plants of the type indigofera, it is now almost entirely made artificially.

Indigo is insoluble in water but this disadvantage can be overcome by converting it into the water-soluble colourless leuco-indigo. If cloth soaked in a solution of leuco-indigo is left to dry in the air, the leuco-indigo is converted into the insoluble blue indigo, which is precipitated out onto the fibres of the cloth.

Astronomers using modern telescopes of various types have found many molecules in the dust clouds in space. Many of these molecules are those of organic compounds and astronomers constantly look for evidence that amino acids such as aminoethanoic acid, H2NCH2CO2H\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{NCH}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}, are present.

One molecule that has been found in the dust clouds is hydroxyethanal, HOCH2CHO\mathrm{HOCH}_{2} \mathrm{CHO}.

(a)

Hydroxyethanal contains two functional groups.
