Concept introduction:
The term anhydride means “without water”. The anhydride can be formed of carboxylic acids either by using dehydrating agents or heating the carboxylic acid. The formation of anhydrides of dicarboxylic acids resulting in the formation of five or six-membered ring structures is readily formed on heating.

- 1. Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names: (a) 4-Methylpentanoic acid (b) o-Hydroxybenzoic acid (c) 2,2-Dimethylpropanoyl chloride (d) trans-2-Methylcyclohexanecarboxamide (e) p-Methylbenzoic anhydride (f) p-Bromobenzonitrilearrow_forwardDraw the structure of the following: (a) p-chlorobenzoic anhydride (b) cis-3-Methylcyclohexanecarbonyl bromide (c) Ethyl 3-methylpentanoate (d) 3-chloro-N-ethyl-N-methylbenzamidearrow_forwardCholic acid, a major constituent of bile, has the structure shown.(a) Draw the structure of cholic acid, showing the rings in their chairconformations, and label each methyl group and hydroxy group asaxial or equatorial. (Making a model may be helpful.)(b) Cholic acid is secreted in bile as an amide linked to the aminogroup of glycine. This cholic acid–amino acid combination acts asan emulsifying agent to disperse lipids in the intestines for easierdigestion. Draw the structure of the cholic acid–glycine combination,and explain why it is a good emulsifying agent.arrow_forward
