Question
Chapter 23, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the given compound is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Oleic acid is a monosaturated omega-9 fatty acid that occurs naturally as a solid fat and oil and is from both plant and animal source. Like other fats, it is insoluble in water.
The process through which the transformation of one molecule into another molecule having exactly the same molecular formula is known as isomerization.

(iii) Benzoic acid is less soluble in water than acetic acid.
(iv) Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.
Compound A was oxidized with periodic acid to give B, which after acid hydrolysis gave C. Bromine oxidation of C gave D. Suggest structural formulas, including stereochemistry, for compounds B, C, and D.
