Interpretation:
The organic compounds produced by the complete hydrolysis of the given compounds need to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
>Phospholipids are derived from phosphatidic acid. The phosphatidic acid has two hydroxyl groups of a glycerol unit, joined to fatty acids through ester linkages. The other terminal hydroxyl group is joined to the phosphoric acid through an ester linkage.
>When the phosphate group of the phosphatidic acid is connected to a nitrogen containing compound such as choline, 2-aminiethanol and L-serine through another phosphate ester linkage, a phosphatide is formed. Lecithin, cephalin, phosphatidylserines and plasmalogens are important groups of phosphatides.
>Lecithin finds wide application in food industry. To enhance their compatibility and performance with the product they are used with, lecithin molecules are hydrolyzed enzymatically.
>The hydrolysis of lecithin results in the production of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphoric acid, and choline molecules
>The hydrolysis of cephalin results in the breakdown of carboxy ester and phosphoester bonds to produce glycerol, fatty acids, phosphoric acid, and ethanolamine molecules.
>The hydrolysis of choline-based plasmalogen gives glycerol, fatty acid, phosphoric acid, and an unsaturated

- 22.47 Tertiary amines with three different alkyl groups are chiral but cannot be resolved because pyramidal inversion causes racemization at room temperature. Nevertheless, chiral aziridines can be resolved and stored at room temperature. Aziridine is a three-membered heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom.
