Question
Chapter 8, Problem 4LGP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of possible biosynthetic precursor and the detailed mechanism through which it is formed, is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Retrosynthesis: It is the process by which the reaction used to form the target product is deduced, by determining the immediate reactant used to produce it and then repeating the step to determine other precursors.

In an advanced synthetic chemistry experiment, a researcher prepares a compound, ZY-7, by reacting a
ketone (C5H100) with hydroxylamine (NH2OH), followed by heating in the presence of an acid catalyst.
The resulting compound, ZY-7, is then treated with a solution of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and hydrochloric
acid (HCI) at low temperature. Identify the class of compound that ZY-7 most likely belongs to after this
series of reactions." A) Amide B) Oxime C) Nitro compound D) Diazonium salt E) Ester Don't use chatgpt

A chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was
enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product
shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result.

X (racemic)
(100% yield)
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is
unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions.
Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained.
O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product.
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X
remains unchanged.
A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Does the product have any asymmetric carbon atoms or other stereocenters?
