2. (i) (iii) Bees can convert stearic acid into A or B as shown below. OH A OH If [18,18,18-²H3]-stearic found in A and B. Bees HO B OH OH Propose a biosynthesis of A and B from stearic acid, showing all steps with enzymes and cofactors. [10] acid was used, predict how many deuterium atoms would be When 2-fluorostearic acid was used, the bees were unable to make A and B. Account for this observation. [3] [2]

Predict the major products of the following organic reaction: + A? Some important notes: • Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below. • If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead. • Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are enantiomers. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. ☐ X P
