SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS 19.1 (b) The four carbon atoms of crotonic acid form continuous chain. Because there is a double bond between C-2 and C-3, crotonic acid is one of the stereoisomers of 2-butenoic acid. The chem
The triacylglycerol shown in text Figure 26.2a, with an oleyl group at C-2 of the glycerol unit and two ste earyl groups at C-I and C-3, yields stearic and oleic acids in a 2 I molar ratio on hydrolysis. A constitutionally isomeric structure in which the oleyl group is attached to C-1 of glycerol would yield the same hydrolysis products
