Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To determine the number of deuterium atoms that are incorporated in palmitic acid if
Concept introduction:
For the synthesis of arachidic acid, in first step acetyl thioester and malonyl thioester undergoes Claisen condensation. The product of Claisen condensation undergoes reduction, dehydration and a second reduction to form a four-carbon thioester.
The four carbon thioester combines with another molecule of malonyl thioester and undergoes Claisen condensation, reduction, dehydration and a second reduction to form a six carbon thioester. The reaction can proceed to form a fatty acid of an even number of carbon atoms and repetition of sequence adds two carbon.

- The formation of Br2 from NBS first involves the reaction of NBS with HBr to form an iminol intermediate and molecular bromine. The intermediate then undergoes acid-catalyzed tautomerism to form succinimide, the byproduct of the reaction. Propose a curved-arrow mechanism for the conversion of NBS into succinimide that also accounts for the formation of Br2.arrow_forwardIdentify compounds A–C in the attached reaction scheme.arrow_forwardWhat product is formed when attached compound is treated with either Ag2O, NH4OH or Na2Cr2O7, H2SO4, H2O?arrow_forward
