(b)
Interpretation:
The organic compound that is formed when the given molecule is decarboxylated has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The carboxylate ions play key roles in many reactions that occur within human body. Generally the carboxyl functional group is not reduced or oxidized. Apart from oxidation and reduction, the carboxylic acid undergoes decarboxylation reaction. In this reaction the carboxylic acid gets converted to smaller organic molecule and a molecule of carbon dioxide. The general reaction scheme for this reaction can be given as shown below,

Its structure consists of a sucrose molecule in which all free hydroxyl groups have formed esters with oleic acid (an 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid). Olestra molecules have no caloric value because they are exceptionally large and cannot be digested. Draw the structure of olestra.
