Question

Copy the reaction scheme and draw the structural formulae of the two triglycerides (1) and (2) that could produce the triglyceride product 4. Indicate which two fatty acids have swapped between the starting triglycerides by labelling them as a and b in the starting materials and product. 

What other reagent (3) is needed to carry out the inter-esterification reaction above? 

 

 

c)
The ghee only melts at 27 °C after the physical processing, so the company decides to try an
inter-esterification reaction between the coconut oil and a triglyceride only composed of steric
acid (sn:18:0-18:0-18:0).
The inter-esterification reaction is shown below.
