Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 86P
Eleostearic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid found in tung oil, obtained from the seeds of the tung oil tree (Aleurites for dii) a deciduous tree native to China. Eleostearic acid is unusual in that the double bond at C9 is cis, but the other two double bonds are trans, (a) Draw the structure of eleostearic acid, showing the arrangement of groups around each double bond, (b) Draw a stereoisomer of eleostearic acid in which all of the double bonds are trans, (c) Which compound, eleostearic acid or its all-trans isomer, has the higher melting point? Explain your reasoning.

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a common preservative added to cereals and other dry foods. Its systematic name is 1-hydroxy-2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylbenzene (where “tert-butyl” is 1,1-dimethylethyl). Draw the structure of BHT.
Linolenic acid (Table 10.2) and stearidonic acid are omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids that contain the first double bond located at C3, when numbering begins at the methyl end of the chain. Predict how the melting point of stearidonic acid compares with the melting points of linolenic and stearic acids. A current avenue of research is examining the use of soybean oil enriched in stearidonic acid as a healthier alternative to vegetable oils that contain fewer degrees of unsaturation.
(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid methenolone from the following description. Methenolone contains the tetracyclic steroid skeleton with a carbonyl group at C3, a hydroxyl at C17, a double bond between C1 and C2, and methyl groups bonded to C1, C10, and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashed wedges for all stereogenic centers with thefollowing information: the configuration at C10 is R, the configuration at C13 is S, the configuration at C17 is S, and all substituents at ring fusions are trans to each other. (c) Draw the structure of Primobolan, the product formed when methenolone is treated with CH3(CH2)5COCl and pyridine. Primobolan is an anabolic steroid that can be taken orally or by injection and has been used illegally by well-known Major League Baseball players.
