(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of cholic acid that shows the rings in their chair conformations, and each methyl group and hydroxyl group as axial and equatorial.

Interpretation: The structure of cholic acid that shows the rings in their chair conformations, and each methyl group and hydroxyl group as axial and equatorial is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Cholic acid is also known as natural or primary bile acid that is insoluble in water but soluble in acetic acid and alcohol.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of the cholic acid-glycine combination and an explanation corresponding to the given statement that cholic acid-glycine is a good emulsifying agent.

Interpretation: The structure of the cholic acid-glycine combination and an explanation corresponding to the given statement that cholic acid-glycine is a good emulsifying agent is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The nature of cholic acid-glycine combination is similar to the nature of soap and detergent. The cholic acid-glycine has highly polar head and slightly polar tail.

Draw one product of an elimination reaction between the molecules below. Note: There may be several correct answers. You only need to draw one of them. You do not need to draw any of the side products of the reaction 'O 10 + x 也 HO + 义 Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
What are the angles a and b in the actual molecule of which this is a Lewis structure? H- :0: C=N: b Note for advanced students: give the ideal angles, and don't worry about small differences from the ideal that might be caused by the fact that different electron groups may have slightly different sizes. a = 0° b=0 X
A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more products missing from the right-hand side, but there are no reagents missing from the left-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing products to the right-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + This transformation can't be done in one step.
