(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of two possible products formed by hydrogenation of linolenic acid with one equivalent H2 in the presence of Pd catalyst should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids are
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the productformed from complete hydrogenation of linolenic acid should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids are biomolecules that are involved in different biochemical reactions. They are special types of organic molecules that can only identify with the help of their physical properties and not by the presence of any certain functional group. In general, lipids contain a large number of C-C and C-H bonds with few polar functional groups such as −OH, -SH, etc.For example, triacylglycerol consists of three ester groups, whereas, Vitamin E is composed of both ether and phenolic groups.

- Ethers (general formula R—O—R)have many important uses. Until recently,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, right)was used as an octane booster and fueladditive for gasoline. It increases the oxy-gen content of the fuel, which reducesCO emissions.
