Interpretation:
The organic compounds produced by the complete hydrolysis of the given compounds need to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
>Phospholipids are derived from phosphatidic acid. The phosphatidic acid has two hydroxyl groups of a glycerol unit, joined to fatty acids through ester linkages. The other terminal hydroxyl group is joined to the phosphoric acid through an ester linkage.
>When the phosphate group of the phosphatidic acid is connected to a nitrogen containing compound such as choline, 2-aminiethanol and L-serine through another phosphate ester linkage, a phosphatide is formed. Lecithin, cephalin, phosphatidylserines and plasmalogens are important groups of phosphatides.
>Lecithin finds wide application in food industry. To enhance their compatibility and performance with the product they are used with, lecithin molecules are hydrolyzed enzymatically.
>The hydrolysis of lecithin results in the production of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphoric acid, and choline molecules
>The hydrolysis of cephalin results in the breakdown of carboxy ester and phosphoester bonds to produce glycerol, fatty acids, phosphoric acid, and ethanolamine molecules.
>The hydrolysis of choline-based plasmalogen gives glycerol, fatty acid, phosphoric acid, and an unsaturated

- Explain briefly why sulfur mustard is soluble in the lipid bilayer membranes that surround human cells and in many fatty hydrocarbon polymers, while thiodiglycol used to synthesize sulfur mustard is less soluble in these hydrophobic materials and has greater solubility in water?arrow_forward22.47 Tertiary amines with three different alkyl groups are chiral but cannot be resolved because pyramidal inversion causes racemization at room temperature. Nevertheless, chiral aziridines can be resolved and stored at room temperature. Aziridine is a three-membered heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom. The following is an example of a chiral aziridine. In this compound, the nitrogen atom is a chiral center. Suggest a reason why chiral aziridines do not undergo racemization at room temperature.arrow_forward(D)The best route to synthesise aromatic primary amines is by reduction of the corresponding nitro compounds. Draw the reaction scheme for the preparation of p-toluidine.arrow_forward

- Answer ALL parts of this question. (a) Compound Z is a tertiary aromatic amine with the formula, C8H11N. Provide a chemical structure for compound Z. (b) Provide a reaction scheme for the preparation of nitrous acid. (c) Draw the structure of the product formed exclusively when nitrous acid reacts with Z. (d) Give a curly arrow mechanism for the preparation of the yellow azo-dye from the reaction of Z with benzenediazonium chloride.arrow_forwardb) Disaccharide E is a reducing sugar. It is hydrolyzed by an α-glycosidase enzyme, which means it contains an α- glycoside link. Treatment of E with Ag2O and excess Mel gives an octamethyl derivative F. Hydrolysis of F in dilute aqueous acid gives the pair of molecules shown below. Write the structures of E and F.
