To determine:
The structure of cholesterol ester produced.
Introduction:
Cholesterol ester is an ester of cholesterol which is a dietary lipid. The formation of ester bond takes place between carboxylate group of a fatty acid and the hydroxyl group of cholesterol by the removal of water molecule through esterification reaction. In an esterification reaction, an alcohol reacts with a
An ester bond is formed by the condensation reaction of an acid and an alcohol.
Condensation reactions are defined as the reaction in which two or more monomers combine together to form a single molecule with the elimination of small molecules like water.

Consider the following intramolecular aldol condensation. This result is fully consistent with the two rules we use to determine the likely product of intramolecular aldol condensation reactions. Rule 1: Only form 5 or 6 membered rings, rule 2: the less- hindered carbonyl group will serve as the electrophile. OH- H₂O product not formed Interestingly, if the same starting material is treated with a secondary amine such as pyrrolidine and some acid, the other product is formed preferentially. Describe the mechanism for what is happening in the presence of amine and acid. (6 points)arrow_forward

Provide a stepwise mechanism for the formation of carbocation 1 from nerolidylpyrophosphate. Number the backbone carbons of nerolidyl pyrophosphate from 1 to 11 as shown, andinclude the carbon numbering in your structure of 1 C. Following from B, give an arrow-pushing mechanism to convert 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Use thebackbone carbon numbering from 1 to indicate where carbon atoms ended up in 2 and 3 D. In addition to forming epi-cedrol, carbocation 3 gives three minor byproducts: a diastereomericalcohol and two alkenes. Draw mechanisms that could give rise to these three productsarrow_forwardPlease don't use Ai solutionarrow_forward

Draw electron-flow arrows on the structure on the left to indicate how the electrons reorganize to give the structure on the right. Interactive 3D display mode CH₁₂ Edit the reaction by drawing all steps in the appropriate boxes and connecting them with reaction arrows. Add charges where needed. Electron flow arrows should start on an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created. H± EXP. CONT を口か H3C.
