This question is a little bit tricky. At first glance, we would jump to the conclusion that this molecule is a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxylic acid and, therefore, a fatty acid. The premise is correct. However, our conclusion is false because, by convention, a fatty acid must contain a carbon chain of at least 12 carbons. The given formula does not match the description for a steroid or triacylglycerol. The correct answer is none of these.

The boron in 2 is sp 3 hybridized because of its four substituents and the carbon in 4 is sp hybridized because of its connection to only the nitrogen with a single .

Stereochemistry from second to fifth carbon is R, S, S, R, which indicates D-galactose. The Haworth structure is a six-membered ring, so the molecule is in its pyranose form. The molecule has its anomeric hydroxyl group pointing down, so it's the alpha anomer.

Alpha-pinene is a terpene, and is thus composed of isoprene units. A single isoprene unit has 5 carbon atoms. This molecule has 10 carbons, thus it contains 2 isoprene units.

Stereochemistry from second to fifth carbon is R, S, R, R, which indicates D-glucose. The Haworth structure is a five-membered ring, so the molecule is in its furanose form. The molecule has its anomeric hydroxyl group pointing down, so it's the alpha anomer.
