Naming lipids Flashcards
what is the common name for fatty acids?
myristic acid or myristate
what is the systematic name for fatty acids?
tetradecanoic acid or tetradecanoate
what does the number after the colon mean in 14:0
the number of double bonds (0)
what does the ānā indicate?
where the double bond appears (on what carbon)
what is C18:0 called? (saturated)
octa (18 carbons)
decanoic acid (oic is for saturated)
octadecanoic acid
parent hydrocarbon + oic
what is C18:1 called? (unsaturated)
octadecaenoic acid
octa (18 carbons)
decaenoic acid (1 double bond)
what is C18:2 called?
octadecadieoic acid
octa (18 carbons0
decadieoic acid (2 double bonds)
what is the rule for naming unsaturated?
parent hydrocarbon + enoic acid
enoic= 1 double bond
dienoic=2 double bonds
trienoic= 3 double bonds
what is the common name of fatty acids in the delta and omega system
oleic acid
what is the N minus system
Numbers from the terminal methyl carbon to the first
unsaturated carbon
what is the omega system
Numbers from the terminal methyl carbon to the first unsaturated carbon.
what is the delta system
Numbers from the carboxyl end (standard biochemical technique) to the first unsaturated carbon.
what is 12;0
laurate, dodeconoate, MP 44
What is 14:0
myristate, tetradeconoate, MP 52
What is 16:0
palmitate, hexadeconoate, MP 63
