(a)
Interpretation:
Skeleton structure of DHA fatty acid has to be drawn:
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acid is an important component of lipid that consists of a carboxyl group
Fatty acid consists of hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts. The nonpolar part of the chain that consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms and is water repellant called hydrophobic part and the polar part that is attracted to water is called hydrophilic part. The hydrophobic part is larger than that of hydrophilic part.

Interpretation:
The

- Draw and name the seven aldehydes and ketones with the formula C5H10O. Which are chiral?arrow_forwardEleostearic acid, C18H30O2, is a rare fatty acid found in the tung oil used for finishing furniture. On ozonolysis followed by treatment with zinc, eleostearic acid furnishes one part pentanal, two parts glyoxal (OHC-CHO), and one part 9-oxononanoic acid [OHC(CH2)7CO2H]. What is the structure of eleostearic acid?arrow_forwardDraw and label the chemical structure of the following compounds and label its replacable Hydrogen atoms 1. KHP 2. Ascorbic acidarrow_forward
- Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a common preservativeadded 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.arrow_forwardLocate with an asterisk the stereogenic centers (if any) in the following structure: B. C6H5CH2CH(OH)CO2Harrow_forwardThe facts in Section 5.4A can be used to locate stereogenic centers in any molecule, no matter how complicated. Always look for carbons surrounded by four different groups. With this in mind, locate the four stereogenic centers in aliskiren, a drug introduced in 2007 for the treatment of hypertension.arrow_forward
- (a) Write the structures of the following compounds and mark them as chiral or achiral. 4 (i) 2-Bromopentane (ii) 3-Bromopentane (iii) 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane (iv) 2-Chloro-3-methylbutane (b) Identify the asymmetric carbon in the chiral compounds. (c) Write the structure of the other enantiomer of the chiral compounds.arrow_forwardDraw a complete structure for vanillin showing all C atoms, H atoms, andlone pairs, and give the molecular formula. Vanillin is the principalcomponent of the extract of the vanilla bean. ?arrow_forwardDraw molecules for the formula C5H10O with functional group alcohol and an ether with an R chiral center.arrow_forward

With this in mind, locate the four stereogenic centers in aliskiren, a drug introduced in 2007 for the treatment of hypertension.arrow_forwardCyclopentanecarboxylic acid and 4-hydroxycyclohexanone have the same formula (C6H10O2), and both contain an —OH and a C=O group. How could you distinguish between them using IR spectroscopy?arrow_forwardUsing the cyclohexane with the C’s numbered as shown, draw a chair form that ts each description.a. The ring has an axial CH3 group at C1 and an equatorial OH on C2.b. The ring has an equatorial CH3 group on C6 and an axial OH group on C4.c. The ring has equatorial OH groups on C1, C2, and C5.arrow_forward
