Answer to Problem 20AP
The products expected to be formed when glyceryl trioleate reacts with O3, then with Zn/CH3COOH are given below.
Explanation of Solution
When glyceryl trioleate is treated with O3 and then with Zn/CH3COOH, ozone adds to the three double bonds to yield a triozonide which is cleaved when treated with Zn/CH3COOH to give two different aldehydes as products. The aldehyde carbons are present in a double bond in glyceryl trioleate.

e) LiAlH4, then H3O+
Interpretation:
The products expected to be formed when glyceryl trioleate reacts with LiAlH4, then with H3O+ are to be given.
Concept introduction:
When oils and fats are reduced with LiAlH4, then with H3O+, the eater linkages are reduced to give glycerol and the free acid. Double bonds are not reduced by LiAlH4.

Answer to Problem 20AP
The products expected to be formed when glyceryl trioleate reacts with LiAlH4, then with H3O+ are given below.
Explanation of Solution
When glyceryl trioleate is treated with LiAlH4 and then with H3O+ the ester linkages in it are reduced to alcohols. LiAlH4 does not reduce the double bonds in glyceryl trioleate.

Answer to Problem 20AP
The products expected to be formed when glyceryl trioleate reacts with CH3MgBr, then with H3O+ are given below.
Explanation of Solution
When glyceryl trioleate is treated with CH3MgBr, addition to carbonyl carbons takes place. The addition product when hydrolyzed with H3O+ yields three equivalents of a tertiary alcohol and glycerol as products.
