Lipids

1

LipidsLipids are• Biomolecules that are nonpolar

– Soluble in organic solvents but not in water.• Named for the Greek word lipos, (means “fat”)

2

Types of lipids we’ll look at:• Fatty acids.• Waxes.• Fats and oils (triglycerides = triacylglycerols).• Glycerophospholipids.• Steroids.

Structures of Lipids

3

Fatty AcidsFatty acids • Are long-chain

carboxylic acids.• Typically contain 12-

18 carbon atoms.• Are insoluble in

water.• Can be saturated or

unsaturated.

4

Fatty Acid FormulasThe formulas for fatty acids are written as • Condensed formulas.• Line-bond formulas. • For example caprylic acid with 8 carbon atoms.

Fatty Acid Formulas

Saturated Fatty AcidsSaturated fatty acids have• Single C–C bonds.• Molecules that fit closely

together in a regular pattern.• Strong attractions between fatty

acid chains.• High melting points that make

them solids at room temperature.

7

Some Saturated Fatty Acids

8

Fats and Other Lipids

Saturated fatty acids have no carbon-to-carbon double bonds.

Monounsaturated fatty acids have one carbon-to-carbon double bond.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids have two or more carbon-to-carbon double bonds.

Unsaturated Fatty AcidsUnsaturated fatty acids • Have one or more double C=C bond• Typically contain cis double bonds.

10

Unsaturated Fatty AcidsUnsaturated fatty acids• Have “kinks” in the fatty

acid chains.• Do not pack closely. • Have few attractions

between chains.• Have low melting

points.• Are liquids at room

temperature.

Melting Points of Some Fatty Acids

13

Learning Check

Assign the melting points of –17°C, 13°C, and 69°C to the correct fatty acid. Explain.

stearic acid (18 C’s) saturatedoleic acid (18 C’s) one double bondlinoleic acid (18 C’s) two double

bonds

14

Solution

Stearic acid is saturated and would have a higher melting point than the unsaturated fatty acids. Because linoleic has two double bonds, it would have a lower mp than oleic acid, which has one double bond.

stearic acid mp 69°C saturatedoleic acid mp 13°C

linoleic acid mp -17°C most unsaturated

Waxes, Fats, and Oils

20

WaxesWaxes are• Esters of saturated fatty acids and long-chain

alcohols.• Coatings that prevent loss of water by leaves of

plants.

21

Fats and Oils: TriacylglycerolsFats and oils are• Also called triglycerides or

triacylglycerols.• Esters of glycerol.• Produced by esterification.• Formed when the hydroxyl

groups of glycerol react with the carboxyl groups of fatty acids.

22

TriglyceridesIn a triglyceride (triacylglycerol), • Glycerol forms ester bonds with three

fatty acids.

23

Fats and Other Lipids

Triglycerides are triesters of glycerol and fatty acids.

Melting Points of Fats and OilsA triacylglycerol that is a fat • Is solid at room temperature.• Solid fats have a high proportion of saturated fatty

acids.• Is prevalent in meats, whole milk, butter, and cheese.

A triacylglycerol that is an oil• Is liquid at room temperature.• Liquid oils have a high proportion of unsaturated fatty

acids.• Is prevalent in plants such as olive and safflower.

28

Oils with Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Oils• Have more unsaturated fats.• Have cis double bonds that cause “kinks” in

the fatty acid chains.• Cannot pack triacylglycerol molecules as close

together as in fats.• Have lower melting points than saturated fats.• Are liquids at room temperature.

29

Olive OilContains a high percentage of oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated fatty acid with one cis double bond.

30

Unsaturated fatty acid chains have kinks that do not allow close packing.

Chemical Properties of Triacylglycerols

The chemical reactions of triacylglycerols are similar

to those of alkenes and esters. • In hydrogenation, double bonds in

unsaturated fatty acids react with H2 in the presence of a Ni or Pt catalyst.

• In hydrolysis, ester bonds are split by water in the presence of an acid, a base, or an enzyme.

36

Hydrogenation of Oils• Adds hydrogen (H2) to the C’s of double bonds.• Converts C=C’s to C-C’s. • Increases the melting point.• Produces solids (ie margarine and shortening).
