Well, you got an internal carbonyl....

Explanation:

...i.e. #R_1C(=O)R_2#...#R_1# and #R_2# ARE SPECIFIED to be different hydrocarbyl groups...and CLEARLY a #"KETONE"# is specified...

And so...#R_1C(=O)H# #"; aldehyde."#

#R_1C(=O)OH# #"; carboxylic acid,"#

#R_1C(=O)R_2# #"; ketone,"#

#R_1C(=O)OR_2# #"; ester,"#

#R_1C(=O)NH_2# #"; primary amide,"#

#R_1C(=O)NHR# #"; secondary amide,"#

#R_1C(=O)X# #"; acid halide."#
