Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.29P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The equation for the formation of acetylcholine has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Acid anhydride can react with water, alcohol and
Amine,water and alcohol acts as a nucleophile and gets attached to the carbonyl carbon of the acid anhydride. The base takes the proton from the from the tetrahedral intermediate. The carboxylate ion gets eliminated from the tetrahedral intermediate to form carboxylic acid derivative.
