QUESTION:

Draw two different cephalins that contain one lauric acid residue and one myristic acid residue. Are both of these compounds chiral?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Cephalin is similar in structure to triglycerides, except that one of the three fatty acid residues is replaced by a phosphoester group containing ethanolamine. Lauric acid is an  alkanoic acid, and myristic acid is an   alkanoic acid. With this information in mind, we can draw the two different cephalins.
