- (A) Which of the following ethers is the least soluble in water? (B) Which produces ethanol and methyl iodide after treatment with dilute HI?arrow_forwardDescribe how would you distinguish the following pairs, (a) Benzene and cyclohexane (b) Phenol and toluene (c) Phenol and benzoic acid (d) methanol and isopropyl alcoholarrow_forwardCholic acid, a major constituent of bile, has the structure shown.(a) Draw the structure of cholic acid, showing the rings in their chairconformations, and label each methyl group and hydroxy group asaxial or equatorial. (Making a model may be helpful.)(b) Cholic acid is secreted in bile as an amide linked to the aminogroup of glycine. This cholic acid–amino acid combination acts asan emulsifying agent to disperse lipids in the intestines for easierdigestion. Draw the structure of the cholic acid–glycine combination,and explain why it is a good emulsifying agent.arrow_forward
