Spermaceti, a fragrant substance isolated from sperm whales, was commonly used in cosmetics until it was banned in 1976 to protect the whales from extinction. Chemically, spermaceti is cetyl palmitate, the ester of palmiticacid with cetyl alcohol (the straight-chain 16-carbon alcohol). Draw the structure of spermaceti.
Is D-2-deoxygalactose the same chemical as D-2-deoxyglucose? Explain.
A decapeptide has the following acid composition;
Al2,Arg,Cys,Glu,Leu,Phe,Val
Partial hydrolysis yield the following tripeptides;
Cys-Glu-Leu+Gly-Arg-Cys+Leu-Ala-Ala+Lys-Val-Phe-Gly
Reaction of the decapeptide with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene yields 2,4-dinitrophenylysine.
From the experimental data, deduce the primary structure of the decapeptide.
Suggest a scheme you will follow to synthesize the dipeptide Ala-Gly.
