“The most important hypothesis in all of biology…is that everything that animals do, atoms do. In other words, there is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.” Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

Nomenclature - IUPAC 1.The name of a saturated hydrocarbon with an unbranched chain consists of a prefix and suffix 2. The parent chain is the longest chain of carbon atoms 3. Each substituent is given a name and a number 4. If there is one substituent, number the chain from the end that gives it the lower number

Nomenclature - IUPAC 5. If there are two or more identical substituents, number the chain from the end that gives the lower number to the substituent encountered first indicate the number of times the substituent appears by a prefix di-, tri-, tetra-, etc. use commas to separate position numbers

Nomenclature - IUPAC 6. If there are two or more different substituents, list them in alphabetical order number from the end of the chain that gives the substituent encountered first the lower number

Nomenclature - IUPAC 7. The prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, etc. are not included in alphabetization alphabetize the names of substituents first and then insert these prefixes

Nomenclature - IUPAC Alkyl groups

Nomenclature - Common The number of carbons in the alkane determines the name all alkanes with four carbons are butanes, those with five carbons are pentanes, etc. iso- indicates the chain terminates in -CH(CH3)2; neo- that it terminates in -C(CH3)3

Unsaturated Fatty Acids Fatty acids in vegetable oils are omega-6 acids (the first double bond occurs at carbon 6 counting from the methyl group) A common omega-6 acid is linoleic acid CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7COOH 6 linoleic acid, a fatty acid

Trans Fats In vegetable oils, the unsaturated fats usually contain cis double bonds. During hydrogenation, some cis double bonds are converted to trans double bonds (more stable) causing a change in the fatty acid structure If a label states “partially” or “fully hydrogenated”, the fats contain trans fatty acids.

Trans Fats In the US, it is estimated that 2-4% of our total Calories is in the form of trans fatty acid. trans fatty acids behave like saturated fatty acids in the body. Several studies reported that trans fatty acids raise LDL-cholesterol. Some studies also report that trans fatty acid lower HDL-cholesterol The trans fatty acids controversy will continue to be debated.

Fats and Atheroschlerosis Inuit people of Alaska have a high fat diet and high blood cholesterol levels, but a very low occurrence of atherosclerosis and heart attacks. Fat in the Intuit diet was primarily from fish such as salmon, tuna and herring rather than from land animals (as in the American diet).

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Fatty acids in the fish oils are mostly the omega-3 type (first double bond occurs at the third carbon counting from the methyl group). linolenic acid 18 carbon atoms CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7COOH  eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 20 carbon atoms CH3CH2(CH=CHCH2)5(CH2)2COOH

Atherosclerosis Plaques of cholesterol adhere to the walls of the blood vessels Blood pressure rises as blood squeezes through smaller blood vessels Blood clots may form Omega-3 fatty acids decrease the “sticking” of blood platelets (fewer blood clots) Omega-3 fatty acids can increase bleeding time

Learning Check HA6 (1) Ture or (2) False A. ____ There are more unsaturated fats in vegetable oils. B. ____ Vegetable oils have more omega-3 oils than found in fish. C. ____ Hydrogenation of oils converts some cis-double bonds to trans- double bonds. D. ____ Animal fats have more saturated fats.
