Question
Predict the product. Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) formed in the following reactions. Please indicate stereochemistry if appropriate
![**Organic Chemistry Synthesis Problem**
**Instruction:**
Given the starting material and reagents, identify the product of the reaction.
**Starting Material:**
- Propanal (CH3CH2CHO)
**Reagents:**
1. \( \text{NH}_3 \) (Ammonia)
2. \( \text{excess NaCN, HCl} \) (Sodium cyanide and Hydrochloric acid)
3. \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4, \text{H}_2\text{O}, \Delta \) (Sulfuric acid, Water, Heat)
**Reaction Steps:**
1. Amination using Ammonia (NH3)
2. Cyanohydrin formation with excess NaCN and HCl
3. Hydrolysis with \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4, \text{H}_2\text{O}, \Delta \)
**Expected Product:**
\[ (CH3CH2)CH(NH2)COOH \]
Amino acids are often formed through multi-step reaction sequences involving the above reagents.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- There is no graphical representation to discuss here; the diagram is a basic flow from starting material through reagents to an end product.
**Conclusion:**
Students are expected to understand the transformation of propanal through these steps, forming an alpha-amino acid with the specified reagents.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbc4fc54f-d9be-4a25-ba56-f776739e96ca%2Ff6a079dd-b2dc-42a7-a1a8-45aebf54c8a4%2Fi2glxf3_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
