One component of jojoba oil is a wax formed from eicosenoic acid $\left[{\mathrm{CH}}_3{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2\right)}_7\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2\right)}_9{\mathrm{CO}}_{2}H\right]$and${\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{3}}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2\right)}_{\mathbf{7}}\mathbf{CH}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{CH}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2\right)}_{\mathbf{8}}\mathbf{OH}$ . Draw the structure of the wax, including the cis geometry of both carbon-carbon double bonds.

Jojoba oil is an oil that is acquired from the jojoba shrub. It is a stable oil because of its chemical composition. It comprises of several properties, and one of its main being its anti-inflamatory property.

Waxes come under the category of hydrolyzable lipids. They are esters (RCOOR') generated by combining alcohol (R'OH) comprising high molecular weight with a fatty acid (RCOOH). Their hydrophobic nature is due to the elongated hydrocarbon chain.

Fatty acids combine with high molecular weight alcohol to create waxes. The structure of eicosenoic acid can be given as:

Structure of eicosenoic acid

The structure of the alcohol can be given as:

Structure of octadec-9-en-1-ol

The reaction of eicosenoic acid with high molecular weight alcohol generates wax. The structure of wax comprising the representation of cis double bonds can be given as:

The reaction of eicosenoic acid with alcohol to generate wax
