For this example, it says, provide a structure of beeswax. It contains myricyl alcohol and palmitic acid. So step 1 says, draw the structure of the alcohol in its condensed form, as well as the fatty acid. We're going to place an OH group of alcohol next to the carboxyl group of the fatty acid. Now, let's just do that first. So, here acid is CH₃, and we're going to say here that it has 29 of these CH₂ groups. We're going to do 28 of them together. The 29th one, we're going to have it branch off, and then it's connected to the OH group. Now we need to draw the fatty acid, which is palmitic acid. Palmitic acid represents a saturated fatty acid. And if we recall our memory tool 1, it is that Lori's Mystic Palace Stores Art. And we're going to say here that LORI, lmPSandA, PALIS stands for palmitic acid. This memory tool starts off at 12 carbons and goes up to 20. And we're going to have 14, 16, 18. So, palmitic acid is a fatty acid that's unsaturated and it has a total of 16 carbons. The first carbon is part of the carboxylic acid. So that's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. Okay. So that's 16. So we've done that part.

Now it says instead of OH on alcohol, we're just going to draw an O, this is going to help later on when we connect these 2 together, and we're going to say, do not draw OH on fatty acid. So let's remove this OH. So we have these 2 fragments. Step 2 is we're going to form the Ester Bond. So we're going to draw a bond between the O of the alcohol and the carbonyl C of the fatty acid. So connect these 2 together, this oxygen with this carbonyl carbon here, and we'll have our beeswax. So let's write this out. So we have CH₃ connected to 28 of these CH₂s, connected to 1 more CH₂, then O, which is going to be connected to the carbonyl carbon. So remember it's 16 carbons, so 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. So that's 16. So this would represent our beeswax. We've combined the alcohol with our unsaturated fatty acid in order to make this particular type of wax. They are connected together through an ester bond.
