Draw the most stable resonance form for the intermediate in the following electrophilic substitution reaction. LOCH3 LOCH3 HNO3 / CH3CO₂H O₂N • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Include all valence lone pairs in your answer. ● In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
![The image contains a question about drawing the most stable resonance form for the intermediate in an electrophilic substitution reaction. The chemical reaction depicted in the image is:
1. The starting compound is anisole, where a methoxy group (OCH₃) is attached to a benzene ring.
2. An electrophilic substitution reaction occurs in the presence of nitric acid (HNO₃) and acetic acid (CH₃CO₂H).
3. The product formed is nitroanisole, where a nitro group (NO₂) is attached to the benzene ring at a position meta to the methoxy group.
Below the reaction, there are instructions for the task:
- You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
- Include all valence lone pairs in your answer.
- In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
