Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The stereochemistry of the pyruvate reduction shown is to be stated. Whether NADH lose its pro-R or pro-S hydrogen is to be stated. Whether the addition of hydrogen occurs to the Si face or Re face of pyruvate is also to be stated.
Concept introduction:
When an achiral molecule such as
In addition a compound with a sp3 hybridized carbon also is said to be prochiral if by changing one of the attached groups it becomes a chiral centre. If the prochiral centre has two identical atoms, then that atom whose replacement leads to a R chirality centre is said to be pro R and that atom whose replacement leads to a S chirality centre is said to be pro S.
To show:
The stereochemistry of the pyruvate reduction to (s)-lactate shown and to state whether NADH lose its pro-R or pro-S hydrogen and whether the addition of hydrogen occurs to the Si face or Re face of pyruvate.

- What is the right answer?arrow_forwardfor question 25, Why is the answer B vs other options? Thank youarrow_forwardOH H3C CO2 CH3CHCO, pyruvate lactate The reduction of pyruvate to form lactate occurs as a hydride ion (H:) is added to C2 at the Re face, followed by protonation at the carbonyl oxygen. Draw the product of the reaction, showing the stereochemistry. • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.arrow_forward
