The unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation. (a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7⁢H13⁢ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?
How many degrees of unsaturation (double bond equivalents) does C4H10ClNO have?
DHA is a fatty acid derived from fish oil and an abundant fatty acid in vertebrate brains. Hydrogenation of DHA forms docosanoic acid [CH3(CH2)20CO2H], and ozonolysis forms CH3CH2CHO, CH2(CHO)2 (five equivalents), and HCOCH2CH2CO2H. What is the structure of DHA if all double bonds have the Z configuration?
