Draw the structure of a wax formed from a 30-carbon straight chain alcohol and each
a. lauric acid
b. myristic acid
C.
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of wax formed by the reaction of lauric acid,
Concept Introduction:
The general reaction of wax formation of fatty acid and higher alcohols can be written as:
Answer to Problem 36P
The skeleton formula of wax is
Explanation of Solution
Fatty acids are long chain carboxylic acids, which consist of two parts, i.e., long hydrocarbon chains and polar −COOH group. Waxes are good example of hydrolyzable lipids, which are composed of fatty acid and higher alcohols. They have an ester functional group which is formed between
Hence, the reaction of
