- Draw a structural formula for the product formed when alanine is treated with the following reagents. (a) Product from (c), L-Alanine ethyl ester, DCC (b) Product from (d), L-Alanine ethyl ester, DCCarrow_forwardA chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted guanidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine?
