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.
