Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 80P
Citrate synthase, one of the enzymes in the series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions known as the citric acid cycle (Section 24.9), catalyzes the synthesis of citric acid from oxaloacetic acid and acetyl-CoA. If the synthesis is carried out with acetyl-CoA that contains radioactive carbon (14C) in the indicated position (Section 1.1), the isomer shown here is obtained.
- a. Which stereoisomer of citric acid is synthesized: R or S?
- b. If the acetyl-CoA used in the synthesis contains 12C instead of 14C, will the product of the reaction be chiral or achiral?

Lipases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of esters, especially esters of
glycerol. Because enzymes are chiral catalysts, they catalyze the hydrolysis of only
one enantiomer of a racemic mixture. For example, porcine pancreatic lipase catalyzes
the hydrolysis of only one enantiomer of the following racemic epoxyester. Calculate
the number of grams of epoxyalcohol that can be obtained from 100 g of racemic
epoxyester by this method."

Q1: The shrub ma huang contains two biologically active stereoisomers ephedrine
and pseudoephedrine-with two stereogenic centers as shown in the given
structure. Ephedrine is one component of a once popular combination drug used
by body builders to increase energy and alertness, while pseudoephedrine is a
nasal decongestant.
a. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (-)-ephedrine,
which has the 1R, 25 configuration.
b. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (+)-
pseudoephedrine, which has the 15,25 configuration.
c. How are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine related? N,

4. An iterative approach to oligosaccharide synthesis involves the use of protected glycals (sugars with
C1-C2 double bond) as shown below. The product from the reaction of the first glycal with DMDO under
anhydrous conditions is treated with another suitably-protected glycal to form a disaccharide glycal, and
the process can be repeated to form a trisaccharide glycal, and so on... Crucial to the success of this
approach is the stereoselective formation of the intermediate A in the scheme below. Draw the
structure of A.
