Concept explainers

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atom…

Textbook Question

Chapter 23, Problem 17P

Gadoleic acid ( C 20 H 38 O 2 ) , a fatty acid that can be isolated from cod-liver oil, can be cleaved by hydroxylation and subsequent treatment with periodic acid to C H 3 ( C H 2 ) 9 C H O and C H O ( C H 2 ) 7 C O 2 H .

(a) What two stereoisomeric structures are possible for gadoleic acid?

(b) What spectroscopic technique would make possible a decision as to the actual structure of gadoleic acid?

(c) What peaks would you look for?
