Chapter 27.SE, Problem 41AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given that vaccenic acid, C18H34O2, gives heptanal and 11-oxoundecanoic acid [OHC(CH2)9COOH] on ozonolysis. It is converted into lactobacillic acid when treated with CH2I2/Zn(Cu). The structures of both vaccenic acid and lactobacillic acids are to be given.

Concept introduction:

Ozonolysis followed by zinc treatment cleaves the double bond in an alkene to yield carbonyl compounds. An oxygen atom gets attached to the carbons originally in the double bond. When an alkene is treated with CH2I2/Zn(Cu), -CH2- group gets added to the double bond to yield a cyclopropane derivative.

To give:

The structures of both vaccenic acid and lactobacillic acids.

Isoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is a acetylic fatty acid that turns vivid vle on exposure to UV light. On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid
Trimyristin is obtained from coconut oil and has the molecular formula C45H86O6. On being heated with aqueous sodium hydroxide followed by acidification, trimyristin was converted to glycerol and tetradecanoic acid as the only products. What is the structure of trimyristin?
Isoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is an acetylic fatty acid that turns a vivid blue on exposure to UV light. On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16CO2H, is produced. Ozonolysis of isoerythrogenic acid yields the following products: formaldehyde, CH2O, malonic acid, HO2CCH2CO2H, adipic acid, HO2C(CH2)4CO2H, and the aldehyde carboxylic acid, OHC(CH2)6CO2H. Provide a structure for isoerythrogenic acid.
