Chapter 23, Problem 19P

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?
