Explanation Purines and pyrimidines are nitrogen containing bases which form the DNA and RNA. A purine is essentially an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound in which a pyrimidine ring is fused to an imidazole ring. The structure is shown below: A pyrimidine is also an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound like benzene that contains nitrogen at 1 and 3 positions of six membered ring, it has a single ring as shown below:

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.

Starch

Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.

Mutarotation

The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of th…

L Sugar

A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotat…

Part 1. Draw monomer units of the following products and draw their reaction mechanism (with arrow pushing) Polyester fiber Using a) pthalic anhydride + anhydrous sodium acetate + ethylene glycol B)pthalic anhydride + anhydrous sodium acetate + glycerol

Identify the missing starting materials/ reagents/ products in the following reactions. Show the stereochemistry clearly in the structures, if any. If there is a major product, draw the structures of the major product with stereochemistry clearly indicated where applicable. Show only the diastereomers (you do not have to draw the pairs of enantiomers). If you believe that multiple products are formed in approximately equal amounts (hence neither is the major product), draw the structures of the products, and show the detailed mechanism of these reactions to justify the formation of the multiple products. If you believe no product is formed, explain why briefly. (6 mark for each, except f and g, which are 10 mark each)

3. What starting material would you use to synthesize 3-hydroxypentanoic acid using a NaBH4 reduction?
