Chapter 18, Problem 18.28QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All amino acids are chiral except glycine have to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The chiral center is that atom that is linked to four different groups. The presence of the chiral center leads to the formation of non-superimposable mirror images. To identify whether a given center is chiral or not one has to check for the presence of four different substituents. The molecule which contains the chiral center is a chiral molecule.

If any of the two substituents happen to be similar, then that center is known as achiral.

5. Propose a Synthesis for the molecule below. You may use any starting materials containing 6 carbons or less (reagents that aren't incorporated into the final molecule such as PhзP do not count towards this total, and the starting material can have whatever non-carbon functional groups you want), and any of the reactions you have learned so far in organic chemistry I, II, and III. Your final answer should show each step separately, with intermediates and conditions clearly drawn. H3C CH3
