fatty acids
« on: June 01, 2012, 02:49:16 PM »
Why more closer to carboxyl group multiple bond in fatty acids is,less stable fatty acid is?
And more away from carboxyl group,more stable acid is.Why is it so?
Thanks

Your statement is not neccessarily true. In some cases think about 5 an 6-membered lactones.
