Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The structures for the intermediates
Interpretation: The structures for the intermediates
Concept introduction: Amino acids can occur in D and L configurations which are usually used by the cells of the living organism. The left-handed configuration of an amino acid around the central carbon atom is known as L-form of amino acid and the right-handed configuration of an amino acid around a central carbon atom is known as R-form of amino acid.
(b)
To determine: The fact that helps in knowing that the product is entirely the unnatural D-configuration.
Interpretation: The fact that helps in knowing that the product is entirely the unnatural D-configuration is to be given.

To begin to study the relevant functional groups, you take free CH3CH2CH2CH2NH2 in the lab and decide to try to turn it into the product (P) CH3CH2CH2CH2NHCH3. a) Suggest a simple reagent to carry out the desired transformation. (In the subsequent parts of the problem, you may call this reagent R for short). b) Draw the reaction using the arrow formalism. c) What solvent and pH do you suggest? Why? d) Is the reaction first order or second order? e) Write down a simple rate equation for dP/dt. If you include any constant(s), what are their units? f) In addition to the desired product P, name at least one other impurity (containing both carbon and nitrogen, you may call this compound U for short) that is likely to occur in substantial amounts. g) What choice of initial conditions would bias towards production of substantially more P than U?arrow_forward5. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate while synthesizing high-energy molecules. During one step of Glycolysis, glucose-6 phosphate (an aldose) is converted to fructose-6-phosphate (a ketose) via an ene-diol intermediate. Draw arrow pushing mechanism to describe this isomerization. Use B: and HA as surrogates for basic/acidic amino acid residues. ОН ОН О OP ОН ОН ОН ОН ОН OP ОНarrow_forward
- Circle the correct answer in each sentence. Projection 1 is a (boat ; fischer ; haworth ; sawhorse) projection. Projection 2 is a (boat ; fischer ; haworth ; sawhorse) projection.
