Chapter 26, Problem 32PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structure of optically inactive triglyceride need to be drawn from the given glycerol, one equivalent of palmitic acid and two equivalents of myristic acid and also to check whether the formed triglyceride will react with molecular hydrogen.

Concept introduction:

Esterification is a process in which the carboxylic acid and an alcohol react to form a ester bond.  This can take place in presence of acid or base.  The bond is formed due to loss of water molecule when the condensation reaction takes place.  Simply to say esterification is the reverse process of hydrolysis.

Organic Chemistry, Third Edition Binder Ready Version, Chapter 26, Problem 32PP

From the above scheme we can find out the starting triglyceride considering the fatty acid and glycerol.

Molecular hydrogen will react with unsaturated compounds to reduce them.  If the compound does not have any unsaturation then that compound wont react with molecular hydrogen.

To draw: the structure of optically active triglyceride from the given problem statement.
