Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Erythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, an acetylenic fatty acid turns vivid red on exposure to light. It absorbs 5 equivalents of H2 in the presence of Pd to give stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH.Upon ozonolysis it gives formaldehyde, CH2O; oxalic acid, HOOCCOOH; azelaic acid, HOOC(CH2)7COOH; and an aldehydic acid OHC(CH2)4COOH. From these data, two possible structures for Erythrogenic acid are to be given. A way to distinguish these two structures is also to be given.

Concept introduction:

Both alkenes and alkynes yield alkanes by adsorbing H2 in the presence of Pd catalyst. Alkynes require two equivalents of H2 while alkenes require one equivalent of H2 to give alkanes. Upon ozonolysis a monosubstituted carbon in double bond gives an aldehyde, a carbon in terminal double bond gives formaldehyde and carbons in triple bond yield carboxylic acids as products.

To give:

Two possible structures for erythrogenic acid from the data provided and a way to distinguish these two structures given.
