14.41, 14. 39
15.21, 15.22, 15.25, 15.32, 15.34, 15.43, 15.44.
Oleic acid can be derived from a natural oils. In what form does it occur and what reaction is required to liberate oleic acid?
Oleic acid can be reacted to form the two products A and B shown below. What reagent would you use for this? What are the names of the two products?
The two products A and B are separated and then converted to the acids C and D, respectively. How would you carry out these transformations. Name C and D.
Diacid D can be reacted with 1-tridecanol to form the diester. Similarly, C can be reacted with E to form a tetra ester. How would you carry out these transformations?
These esters are used as components in synthetic lubricants. They are mixed with other components to form a lubricant which is said to give better engine wear. They can also be recycled easily.
