(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The chiral TCA-cycle intermediates need to be identified. The intermediate with greatest number of chiral centers and cis-trans isomerism needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction : A chiral carbon atom is the carbon atom which is bonded with four different atoms or group of atoms. The geometrical isomers are due to the presence of C=C bond in the molecule in which the double bonded carbon atoms must be bonded with two different groups. Oxidation and decarboxylation are two most important chemical reactions.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The type of chemical reaction taking place in step 1 to 3 needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction : A chiral carbon atom is the carbon atom which is bonded with four different atoms or group of atoms. The geometrical isomers are due to the presence of C=C bond in the molecule in which the double bonded carbon atoms must be bonded with two different groups. Oxidation and decarboxylation are two most important chemical reactions.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The product of hydration of aconitic acid needs to be determined if it follows Markovnikov’s rule.

Concept Introduction : A chiral carbon atom is the carbon atom which is bonded with four different atoms or group of atoms. The geometrical isomers are due to the presence of C=C bond in the molecule in which the double bonded carbon atoms must be bonded with two different groups. Oxidation and decarboxylation are two most important chemical reactions.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The type of reactions taking place in step 4 to 8 needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction : A chiral carbon atom is the carbon atom which is bonded with four different atoms or group of atoms. The geometrical isomers are due to the presence of C=C bond in the molecule in which the double bonded carbon atoms must be bonded with two different groups. Oxidation and decarboxylation are two most important chemical reactions.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : This is to be shown that step 5 involves oxidation.

Concept Introduction : A chiral carbon atom is the carbon atom which is bonded with four different atoms or group of atoms. The geometrical isomers are due to the presence of C=C bond in the molecule in which the double bonded carbon atoms must be bonded with two different groups. Oxidation and decarboxylation are two most important chemical reactions.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : This is given that reaction 4 is also classified as a decarboxylation. Whether this decarboxylation involves oxidation reaction or not needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction : A chiral carbon atom is the carbon atom which is bonded with four different atoms or group of atoms. The geometrical isomers are due to the presence of C=C bond in the molecule in which the double bonded carbon atoms must be bonded with two different groups. Oxidation and decarboxylation are two most important chemical reactions.
