Chapter 1, Problem 28P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether MES, MOPS or HEPS is effective at pH 7.0 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The effectiveness of a buffer can be determined by the fact that the pH values and the pKa lies close to each other. If this value is not close the buffer will not be effective.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether MES, MOPS or HEPS is effective at pH 6.0 should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The effectiveness of a buffer can be determined by the fact that the pH values and the pKa lies close to each other. If this value is not close the buffer will not be effective.

Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate 5 is converted by general acid-base catalysis to 6, and then to the natural product 7. For clarity only limited atom numbers are shown, but the main chain carbons are numbered 1 to 16, and the off-chain methyl substituents are numbered 17-20.  A. Based on what you specified in A, use curly arrows on the drawing above to convert 5 to 6, and 6 to 7. Invoke general acids and general bases as needed, and draw in hydrogens as necessary  . B. On the structure of 7, write in the atom numbers for the carbons marked with an asterisk
