Organic Chemistry
- In an advanced synthetic chemistry experiment, a researcher prepares a compound, ZY-7, by reacting a ketone (C5H100) with hydroxylamine (NH2OH), followed by heating in the presence of an acid catalyst. The resulting compound, ZY-7, is then treated with a solution of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and hydrochloric acid (HCI) at low temperature. Identify the class of compound that ZY-7 most likely belongs to after this series of reactions."

- Certain omega-3 fatty acids can be found only in animal sources, such as fatty fish. Two of these are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) [20:5] and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) [22:6], both of which are ω-3 fatty acids. DHA has been shown to be important in healthy brain development, so it has recently been added to infant formulas. Breast milk is rich in DHA as long as the mother maintains a healthy diet that includes fish. Draw skeletal structures of the fatty acids EPA and DHA.arrow_forwardAccount for the fact that one carboxyl group is a considerably stronger acid than the other carboxyl group.arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation for a pentanoate ion acting as base when it reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCI).
