Answer:
Explanation:
Oleic acid originates from an unsaturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms and one double bond, which can be found in olive oil and many other vegetable and animal oils and fats. Its economic importance includes the production of soap making and cosmetics etc.
The line-bond structure of the given oleic acid in the question can be found in the attached below.
Answer:
I
Explanation:
The complete question can be seen in the image attached.
We need to understand what is actually going on here. In the first step that yields product A, the sodamide in liquid ammonia attacks the alkyne and abstracts the acidic hydrogen of the alkyne. The second step is a nucleophilic attack of the C6H5C≡C^- on the alkyl halide to yield product B (C6H5C≡C-CH3CH2).
Partial reduction of B using the Lindlar catalyst leads to syn addition of hydrogen to yield structure I as the product C.
