Textbook Question
Chapter 8.7, Problem AQ
Linoleic acid is shown below. What makes this fatty acid particularly susceptible to autoxidation?
- 1. The red C—H bond has a low
bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic. - 2. The red C—H bond has a high bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic.
- 3. The red C—H bond is the most accessible to reaction with O2 because it is the least sterically crowded C—H bond.
- 4. Both 2 and 3.
