(a)
Interpretation:
The side chain carboxyl group converted to a benzyl ester using benzyl chloride as a source of benzyl group has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Benzyl ester is the protecting group used for the protection of carboxyl group in the amino acids. The protecting groups are used to prevent the
(b)
Interpretation:
The deprotection of the side chain carboxyl group under mild conditions without removing the BOC-protecting group at the same time has to be explained.

- Predict the reactions of lipids under basic hydrolysis and with standard organicreagents. Show the reactions of the ester and olefinic groups of glycerides and thecarboxyl groups of fatty acids.arrow_forwardA chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted guanidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.arrow_forwardSynthesize attached compound from benzonitrile (C6H5CN) as the onlyorganic starting material; that is, every carbon in the product mustoriginate in benzonitrilearrow_forward
- alanine is dissolved in a solution with a pH of 4.2. what percent of the alanine's carboxyl groups are de - protonated at this pH? What percent of the carboxyl groups are protonated?arrow_forwardExplain why amino acids, unlike most amines and carboxylic acids, are insoluble in diethyl ether.arrow_forwardGiven that C6H11COOH has a pKa = 4.8 and C6H11N+H3 has a pKa = 10.7, (a) What pH would you make the water layer to cause the carboxylic acid to dissolve in the water layer and the amine to dissolve in the ether layer? (b) What pH would you make the water layer to cause the carboxylic acid to dissolve in the ether layer and the amine to dissolve in the water layer?arrow_forward
- (a) Draw the structures of ammonia and urea.(b) Write the reaction showing ammonia acting as a base in water.(c) Write a reaction showing the formation of carbamoyl phosphate from ammonia, carbon dioxide, and any other reactants.(d) Draw the structures of ornithine and lysine. Explain how they are different. (e) Draw the structure of the compound formed when ornithine reacts with carbamoyl phosphate. (f) Write the transamination reaction of alanine with alpha-ketoglutarate. Name the products that are formed.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of each compound. p-aminobenzoic acidarrow_forwardAspirin is an anti-inammatory agent because it inhibits the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins by the transfer of its acetyl group (CH3CO –) to an OH group at the active site of an enzyme (Section 19.6). This reaction, called transesterication, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterication.arrow_forward
