Modify the given fatty acid so that it represents the 18‑carbon fatty acid designated 18:2(Δ9,12). Draw any double bonds in the

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember the meaning of the nomenclature "18:2Δ9,12". Where 18 is the <u>number of carbon atom</u>s, 2 is the <u>number of double bonds,</u> and the numbers successive to Δ "delta" the position of the double bonds <u>starting</u> to count from the carboxylic -COOH end of the molecule.

In other words, the main functional group is a <u>carboxylic acid</u>. We have a total of 18 carbons. Additionally, we have 2 double bonds. On carbons 9 and 12.

Lets see figure 1

I hope it helps!
