Chapter 14 repeat Hydrolysis of fat (saponification) Micelle formation (soap action) Detergents Condensation polymers PETE PEN Condensation Polymers • Polyesters are condensation polymers • They are formed by eliminating a small molecule (e.g., H2O) when combining: – Diacid – Diol 14.2 Esters • Each of the combining molecules has two reactive functional groups, highlighted in red Polethylene terphthalate, PETE COOH + n HO CH2CH2OH HOOC Terphthalic acid HOOC PETE is used in: •Mylar •Plastic bottles •Polyester fabric * O C H+ 1,2-ethanediol O C O CH2CH2OH + H2O O C O CH2CH2O Continued condensation at each end n* Repeating unit of the polymer PEN Polymers 14.4 Nature’s High Energy Compounds: Phosphoesters and Thioesters 15 • Phosphoric acid reacts with alcohols to produce a phosphate ester or phosphoester • The ester can then react with a second or third acid to give phosphoric acid anhydrides • ADP and ATP of biochemistry fame are important examples of phosphate esters Phosphoesters and Thioesters 14.4 Nature’s High Energy Compounds: Phosphoric Acid Esters Ester bond NH2 Anhydride bonds O O N N O O P O P O P O CH2 O O O adenosine triphosphate, ATP N N OH O OH Phosphate esters Phosphoesters and Thioesters 14.4 Nature’s High Energy Compounds: Thioesters • In biochemistry, acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA-SH) reacts with acyl groups to “activate” them for further biological reaction by forming a thioester - COO CH2 O COO CoA-S C CH3 + C O HO C COO CH2 Acetyl CoA CH2 COO COO + CoA-SH Pheromones Pain killers Painkillers and pheromones 17.2 Fatty Acids Structures of Four Prostaglandins Prostaglandin synthesis Prostaglandins
