Cholesterol is reacted with acidified potassium dichromate. Determine the structure of the product formed and explain if further oxidation can occur.
An organic compound is analysed and found to contain 66.7% carbon, 11.2% hydrogen and 22.1% oxygen by mass. The compound boils at 79.6 C. At 100 C and 0.970atm, the vapour has a density of 2.28g/L. The compound has a carbonyl group and cannot be oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Suggest a structure for the compound.
The saponification of triglycerides and its reverse reaction of the condensation of fatty acids and
glycerol to make a triglyceride is just one example of how carbonyl chemistry is important in living
organisms. List down two other classes of biomolecules that rely on carbonyls for part of their chemical
characteristics and illustrate a simple representative structure of that biomolecule, identifying where
the carbonyl is.
