Chapter 16.5, Problem 16.15P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stronger base in the given pair of amine compounds should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Amines are the derivatives of ammonia (NH3) with one or more of the hydrogens replaced with a substituent such as an alkyl group.

Due to ability of lone pair in the nitrogen atom to accept a proton, amines are weak base in nature.

Factors that affect the basicity of amines are listed below,

Substitution by alkyl groups

The presence of alkyl groups (electron donating group) such as CH3andC2H5 will make the amine become more basic.

Substitution by electron-withdrawing groups

The presence of electron-withdrawing groups or atom will decrease the basicity.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
