- Eleostearic acid, C18H30O2, is a rare fatty acid found in the tung oil used for finishing furniture. On ozonolysis followed by treatment with zinc, eleostearic acid furnishes one part pentanal, two parts glyoxal (OHC-CHO), and one part 9-oxononanoic acid [OHC(CH2)7CO2H]. What is the structure of eleostearic acid?arrow_forwardCitrate synthase, one of the enzymes in the series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions known as the citric acid cycle, catalyzes the synthesis of citric acid from oxaloacetic acid and acetyl-CoA. If the synthesis is carried out with acetyl-CoA that contains radioactive carbon (14C) in the indicated position , the isomer shown here is obtained. a. Which stereoisomer of citric acid is synthesized: R or S? b. If the acetyl-CoA used in the synthesis contains 12C instead of 14C, will the product of the reaction be chiral or achiral?arrow_forwardWhat happens if toluene is treated with: a) Br2/UV, b) Cl2/AlCl3, c) HNO3conc./H2SO4conc., d) (CH3)2CHBr/ZnBr2, e) KMnO4/H+, t°C. Name all the products.arrow_forward
- Туpе: MC QUESTION 14 Use these findings to answer the question. Compound X is optically inactive and has the formulaC 16H 16Br 2. On treatment with strong base, X gives hydrocarbon Y, C 16H 14. Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a palladium catalyst and reacts with ozone to give two fragments. One fragment Z, is an aldehyde with formula C 7H 60. The other fragment is glyoxal, (CHO) 2. The structure of Y is: Ph Ph Ph Pn Туpe: MC QUESTION 15 Use these findings to answer the question.

Treatment of compound A with sodium ethoxide yields only one elimination product (compound B) and no substitution products. When compound B is treated with dilute sulfuric acid, compound C is obtained, which has molecular formula C7H160. Draw the structures of compounds A, B, and C.arrow_forwardWhat product is formed when D-Gulose is treated with a. CH3I, Ag2O b. The product in (a), then H3O+ c.
