♦ Relevant knowledge
Oleic acid (C18H34O2) is a fatty acid that can be naturally found in plants and animals. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated acid that is a fatty acid. In triglyceride form it is commonly utilized in many food items.
In alkenes, the increase in H-H over the carbon-carbon double bonds in the presence of catalysts results in an alkane, which is referred to as the hydrogenation reaction. The reaction is exothermic process that involves syn addition taking place.
In the process of hydrogenation the hydrogen molecule is cleaved and is bonded to the surface of the metal.
The alkene also absorbs the catalyst of the metal at its surfaces. The hydrogen atoms get transferred to alkene , and they then form carbon-hydrogen bonds. This reaction of hydrogenation follows syn addition.
Example:
Therefore, the structural formula for the organic product is
