Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The skeletal structure for A needs to be drawn and the cis double bond needs to be clearly shown.
Concept Introduction:
Fatty
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of omega-n acid needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The unsaturated fatty acids can be classified as omega-n acids. Here, n is the carbon at which the first double bond occurs.
(c)
Interpretation:
The stereoisomer of A needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and connectivity of atoms but differ in the three-dimensional orientation of the atoms in space. There are two types of stereoisomers as diastereomers and enantiomers.
(d)
Interpretation:
The structure of the wax formed from A and CH3(CH2)10OH needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Waxes are esters formed by reacting a fatty acid and high molecular weight alcohol.
