- Eleostearic 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_forwardThe structure of 4 isomers of an aldotetrose carbohydrate are given. 1) select every structure that is a diastereomer of structure D A, B, or C? 2) select every structure that is a enantiomer of structure C D, B, or A? 3) select every structure that is a stereoisomer of structure D A, B, or Carrow_forward(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.arrow_forward
