A possible explanation for these results is that all cosolvents have a tendency to disrupt the glycerol network, but that hydrophobes generate ordered glycerol structure around themselves, glycerol-bergs. The nature of these structures can only be...

By controlhng the relative amounts of, for example, glycerol and phthahc anhydride and the experimental conditions of the reaction, various pol5 mers of different properties are obtained. Under mild conditions (ca. 150°) only the primary alcohol groups are esterified and the secondary alcohol group remains free. The structural unit of the resulting linear polymer is ...

The structure of these products is uncertain and probably depends on pH and concentrations in solution. The hydroxyl or carboxyl or both are bonded to the titanium. It is likely that most, if not all, of these products are oligomeric in nature, containing Ti—O—Ti titanoxane bonds (81). Thek aqueous solutions are stable at acidic or neutral pH. However, at pH ranges above 9.0, the solutions readily hydroly2e to form insoluble hydrated oxides of titanium. The alkaline stabiUty of these complexes can be improved by the addition of a polyol such as glycerol or sorbitol (83). These solutions are useful in the textile, leather (qv), and cosmetics (qv) industries (see Textiles).

It is, however, possible to produce other structures. For example, if phthalic acid is condensed with glycerol, the glycerol will react at each point (Figure 2.9). 

This will lead initially to branched chain structures such as indicated schematically in Figure 2.10, G indicating a glycerol residue and P a phthalic acid residue. In due course these branched molecules will join up, leading to a cross-linked three-dimensional product. 

These resins are produeed by reacting a polyhydric alcohol, usually glycerol, with a polybasic acid, usually phthalic acid and the fatty acids of various oils such as linseed oil, soya bean oil and tung oil. These oils are triglycerides of the type shown in Figure 25.30. R], R2 and R3 usually contain unsaturated groupings. The alkyd resins would thus have structural units, such as is shown in Figure 25.31. 

An even more complicated nomenclature problem arises with the closely related all-oxygen cryptands. These compounds do not utilize nitrogen as the three-chain junction. Most examples of this class of compounds have utilized pentaerythritol or glycerol as the junction. This naturally imparts a somewhat lower flexibility to the molecule than would be present in the nitrogen-containing cases. Structures of two such molecules are illustrated below. 

Draw the structures of (a) all the possible triacylglycerols that can be formed from glycerol with stearic and arachidonic acid, and (b) all the phosphatidylserine isomers that can be formed from palmitic and linolenic acids. 

Acetonide formation is the most commonly used protection for 1,2- and 1,3-diols. The acetonide has been used extensively in carbohydrate chemistry to mask selectively the hydroxyls of the many different sugars. In preparing ace-tonides of triols, the 1,2-derivative is generally favored over the 1,3-derivative which in turn is favored over the 1,4-derivative, but the extent to which the 1,2-acetonide is favored is dependent upon the structure of the triol. Note that the 1,2-selectivity for the ketal from 3-pentanone is better than that from acetone. Its greater lipophilicity also improves the isolation of the ketals of small alcohols such as glycerol. ...

The relative amounts of LDL and HDL cholesterol in your bloodstream depend, at least in part, on your diet In particular, they depend on the total amount and the type of fat that you eat. Fats (triglycerides) are esters of glycerol with long-chain carboxylic acids. The general structure of a fat can be represented as... 

The problem of crystallizing glycerol proved to be of some interest. A tube of glycerol ua.r kept with one end in liquid air. the other at room temperature for a period of several weeks without results. Seeding with various organic crystals of similar structure tt s also tried. In fact, the artifices ordinarily used for starting crystallization in the absence of seed crystals were all tried without success.
