Chapter 31: Question 31.23 (page 1231)

Triacylglycerol L yields compound M when treated with excess H2 , Pd-C. Ozonolysis of L [1] O3 ; [2] (CH3)2affords compounds N-P. What is the structure of L?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The structure of the compound L is as shown:

Structure of L

Step by step solution

01

Hydrogenation in the presence of excess H2  and Pd-C

Thehydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, nitro compounds, nitriles and imines can be done using excess and Pd-C. By using this reagent, the double bonds in compound L will vanish.

02

Ozonolysis

The ozonolysis reaction helps detect the position of double bonds in an unknown compound based on the products formed.

The ozonolysis of compound L yields compounds N, O, and P.

03

The structure of L

Based on the above structures formed by using various reagents on L, the structure of L can be as shown below:

Structure of L
