Concept explainers
Neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) is synthesized in the body from highly unsaturated essential fatty acids. NPD1 is a potent natural anti-inflammatory agent.
NPD1
a. Label each double bond as conjugated or isolated.
b. Label each double bond as E or Z.
c. For each conjugated system, label the given conformation as s-cis or s-trans.
(a)
Interpretation: Neuroprotectin D1 is synthesized in the body from highly unsaturated essential fatty acids. NPD1 is a potent natural anti-inflammatory agent. The each double bond in NPD1 is to be labeled as conjugated or isolated.
Concept introduction: Diene is a hydrocarbon that contains two
Conjugated diene consists of two double bonds that are separated by a single bond, whereas isolated diene also consists of two double bond but they are separated by two more carbon atoms.
The example that shows the basic difference between conjugated diene and isolated diene is shown below.
Figure 1
In conjugated diene, electrons in the pi bonds are delocalized, whereas in isolated diene, electrons in the pi bonds are localized.
Answer to Problem 16.11P
The each double bond in NPD1 as conjugated and isolated diene is shown below.

Explanation of Solution
The given structure of NPD1 is shown below.
Figure 2
Diene is a hydrocarbon that contains two
Conjugated diene consists of two double bonds that are separated by a single bond, whereas isolated diene also consists of two double bond but they are separated by two more carbon atoms. Therefore, carbon atoms of a conjugated double bond are
