The main fatty acid component of the triacylglycerols in coconut oil is lauric acid, CH3(CH2)10COOH. Explain why coconut oil is a liquid at room temperature even though it contains a large fraction of this saturated fatty acid.
Based on this lipid structure, what kind of product is formed if NaOH is added to a triglyceride? Discuss the principle of how the product can help in the fight against the coronavirus.
4. The ester you drew in Question #1 has a melting point range of 32 - 35 °C. The methyl ester of mono-unsaturated
palmitoleic acid (IUPAC name: hexadec-9-enoic acid) has a considerably lower melting point range: -0.5-+0.5 °C.
a) Explain what it means for a fatty acid to be "mono-unsaturated."
b) Illustrate your explanation by drawing the structure of the methyl ester of octadec-11-enoic acid. (Be sure to draw
the geometric stereoisomer that is commonly found in nature.)
