(a)
Interpretation:
Structure of lecithin and the naturally occurring enantiomer need to be drawn and if phosphodiester is in C2 position will there be chirality has to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Phosphoglycerides are same as triglycerides but the only difference is that in triglycerides there are three fatty acid residues. But in phosphoglyceride one of the fatty acid residue in triglyceride is replaced by a phosphoester. Hydrolysis of phosphoglycerides yield glycerol, fatty acid, phosphate.
To draw: the structure of lecithin
(b)
Interpretation:
Structure of lecithin and the naturally occurring enantiomer need to be drawn and if phosphodiester is in C2 position will there be chirality has to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Chirality is the ability of the compound to rotate the plane polarized light when it is passed through them. A chiral center is the one when the carbon atom is attached to a four different groups. If the plane polarized light is rotated clockwise then the compound is said to be dextrorotatory and if it is anti-clockwise then the compound is levorotatory.
(c)
Interpretation:
Structure of lecithin and the naturally occurring enantiomer need to be drawn and if phosphodiester is in C2 position will there be chirality has to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Chirality is the ability of the compound to rotate the plane polarized light when it is passed through them. A chiral center is the one when the carbon atom is attached to a four different groups. If the plane polarized light is rotated clockwise then the compound is said to be dextrorotatory and if it is anti-clockwise then the compound is levorotatory. If the carbon is not attached to four different groups means then it is said to be achiral.

- Hello, I am doing a court case analysis in my Analytical Chemistry course. The case is about a dog napping and my role is prosecution of the defendant. I am tasked in the Area of Expertise in Neutron Activation and Isotopic Analysis. Attached is the following case study reading of my area of expertise! The landscaping stone was not particularly distinctive in its decoration but matched both the color and pattern of the Fluential’s landscaping stone as well as the stone in the back of the recovered vehicle. Further analysis of the stone was done using a technique called instrumental neutron activation analysis. (Proceed to Neutron Activation data) Photo Notes: Landscaping stone recovered in vehicle. Stone at Fluential’s home is similar inappearance. Finally, the white paint on the brick was analyzed using stable isotope analysis. The brick recovered at the scene had smeared white paint on it. A couple of pieces of brick in the back of the car had white paint on them.
