Chapter 26, Problem 26.53(choose chapter or problem)
Olestra is a noncaloric oil substitute that is produced by esterifying sucrose with eight equivalents of fatty acids obtained from the hydrolysis of vegetable oils. The eight fatty acid residues give Olestra the consistency and flavor of cooking oil, but the steric bulk of the compound prevents digestive enzymes from hydrolyzing the ester groups. As a result, Olestra passes through the digestive tract unaltered. Draw the structure of a molecule of Olestra that contains eight lauric acid residues. Is this compound chiral?
