(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism of decarboxylation of α-keto acids in presence of 3-amino-2-oxindole has to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

  • Catalyst: Substance which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction without getting consumed in the reaction.
  • Acid Catalyst: A catalyst which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the donation of a proton.
  • Base Catalyst: A catalyst which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the removing a proton.
  • Nucleophilic catalysis: A catalysis which takes place due to the formation of a covalent bond by a nucleophile with one of the reactants.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possibility of 3-aminoindole over 3-amino-2-oxindole as effective catalyst has to be predicted.
