Isoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is a acetylic fatty acid that turns vivid vle on exposure to UV light. On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid
Stearolic acid, C18H32O2, yields stearic acid on catalytic hydrogenation and undergoes oxidative cleavage with ozone to yield nonanoic acid and nonanedioic acid. What is the structure of stearolic acid?
When an extract of parsley seed is saponified and acidified, one of the fatty acids isolated is petroselenic acid, formulaC18H34O2. Hydrogenation of petroselenic acid gives pure stearic acid. When petroselenic acid is treated with warmpotassium permanganate followed by acidification, the only organic products are dodecanoic acid and adipic acid. TheNMR spectrum shows absorptions of vinyl protons split by coupling constants of 7 Hz and 10 Hz. Propose a structure forpetroselenic acid, and show how your structure is consistent with these observations.2
