Chapter 18.8, Problem DQ
The following sequence of steps is used to create the
- 1. Step 1 would best be performed at a pH below the pKa of ammonium.
- 2. Step 1 would create an imine that undergoes nucleophilic attack by cyanide in Step 2.
- 3. The hydrolysis of the nitrile created in Step 2 would be better performed in base rather than the acid shown.
- 4. Step 4 is a resolution of a racemic mixture that results from Steps 1–3 and does not require a chiral reagent.
