Amino acids can be synthesized by reductive amination. Draw the structure of the organic compound that you would use to synthesize aspartic acid.

2. Draw the structural formulas for the reactants and products for the following reactions. Name the or product that forms. a) Amide formation between butanoic acid (butyric acid) and N-ethyl-2-propnamine (ethylisopropylamine) b) Acid hydrolysis of sec-butylbenzoate c) Oxidation of 3,4-diethylhexanal d) Neutralization of 3,N-diethyl-2-hexanamine with HBr e) Basic hydrolysis of 2,3,N-trimethyl-N-isopropylpentanamide
