Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mechanism for transesterification of tristearin using methanol in presence of acid catalyst need to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Transesterification is a process in which the alcohol group present in the carboxylate of triglyceride is exchanged by another organic alcohol group.  The general scheme can be shown as,

The steps involved in transesterification is,

  • Protononation
  • Nucleophilic attack
  • Deprotonation
  • Protonation
  • Loss of leaving group
  • Deprotonation

To draw: the mechanism of transesterification of tristearin using methanol in presence of acid catalyst.
