Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

  • In the dehydration synthesis reaction, the alpha-carboxyl group (-COO- ) of amino acid reacts with the alpha-amino group (-NH3+ ) of another acid and releases water molecules and forms a C-N peptide bond. 
  • This results in the formation of a dipeptide when two amino acids are combined together. 
  • It is also known as a condensation reaction as it splits a water molecule.
  • The reactants are smaller molecules than their products.
