The reagent DIC also called carbodiimide is a coupling agent for ester or amide formation. The…

Chlorophyll, heme, vitamin B12, and a host of other substances are synthesized from porphobilinogen, which is itself formed from the condensation of two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate. The two 5-aminolevulinates are bound to lysine (Lys) residues in the enzyme, one in the enamine form and the other in the imine form. Condensation is thought to occur via a several step process, one of which is shown below.
