Interpretation: The structure of L is to be identified.
Concept introduction: Triacylglycerols are a type of lipids. They are composed of three fatty acids and glycerol. Simple triacylglycerol contains three same fatty acids while mixed triacylglycerol contains two or more different fatty acids. They are also known as triglycerides.

- Draw the organic products formed when each compound is treated with H2, Pd-C. Indicate the three-dimensional structure of all stereoisomers formed.arrow_forwardEleostearic 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_forwardWhat is the purpose of adding KHSO(sub)4 in glycerol to form acrolein? a. oxidizing agent b. dehydrating agent c. emulsifying agent d.reducing agentarrow_forward
- 1. Some marine plankton contain triacylglycerols formed from the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) such as: CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2COOH a) Draw the skeletal structure of the given PUFA showing the preffered stereogenic arrangement for a naturally-occuring lipid at each double bond. b) Write the systematic name of the fatty acid. c) What type of omega-n acid is this fatty acid? d) Would you expect this fatty acid to be a soild or liquid at room temperature?arrow_forwardSuppose the hydrogens on the OH groups in glucose were replaced with methyl groups, CH3. Would you expect the water solubility of the resulting molecule to be higher than, lower than, or about the same as glucose?arrow_forward(a) Give the products expected when (+)@glyceraldehyde reacts with HCN.(arrow_forward
- What changes would be made to separate the two isomeric pinene (α and β), bp 156 oC and 167 oC respectively that are the major constituents of commercial turpentine?arrow_forward10. Trimyristin is obtained from coconut oil. It has molecular formula C45H86O6. On being heated with aqueous sodium hydroxide followed by acidification it was converted to glycerol and tetradecanoic acid as the only products. What is its formula?arrow_forwardStearidonic acid (C18H28O2) is an unsaturated fatty acid obtained fromoils isolated from hemp and blackcurrant a.) What fatty acid is formed when stearidonic acid is hydrogenated withexcess H2 and a Pd catalyst?b.) What fatty acids are formed when stearidonic acid is hydrogenatedwith one equivalent of H2 and a Pd catalyst?c.) Draw the structure of a possible product formed when stearidonic acidis hydrogenated with one equivalent of H2 and a Pd catalyst, and onedouble bond is isomerized to a trans isomer.d.) How do the melting points of the following fatty acids compare:stearidonic acid; one of the products formed in part (b); the productdrawn in part (c)?arrow_forward
- (a) Give the products expected when (+)@glyceraldehyde reacts with HCN.(b) What is the relationship between the products? How might they be separated?(arrow_forward2-Butanone is reduced by hydride ion donors, such assodium borohydride (NaBH₄), to the alcohol 2-butanol. Eventhough the alcohol has a chiral center, the product isolated from the redox reaction is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardOxaloacetic acid (or 2‑ketosuccinic acid) is a very important intermediate in metabolism. The compound is involved in the citric acid cycle for energy production within the cell. However, the compound is unstable and slowly decomposes spontaneously. Draw the decomposition products.arrow_forward
