(a)
Interpretation: The Fischer projection formula for the given molecule has to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The fischer formula can be sketched by using the following rules:
- • The chiral center is assumed to be in the plane of paper.
- • Two of the bonds are considered pointing towards the page.
- • Two of the bonds are considered pointing outwards the page.
- • The intersection of horizontal and vertical lines represents the chiral center.
- • The horizontal lines are the lines pointing outwards of the page.
- • The vertical lines are the lines pointing towards the page.

- Assign this spectrumarrow_forwardRedraw the tripeptide with or without its acidic hydrogensto demonstrate where the total charge of -2 comes from: *see imagearrow_forward2. Consider the data below to answer the following questions. Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in the synthesis of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids from ketones and aldehydes. The nitrile functional group can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acid to yield a carboxylic acid. Nitriles can also be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids using aqueous base. Unfortunately, when a cyanohydrin is treated with aqueous base the original carbonyl compound is isolated. OH CH-COOH 0 HO CN C H30* C. H H HC N NaOH H₂O C=O 0 cyanohydrin H + NaCN + H₂Oarrow_forward

Draw the structure of the strongest acid in the table above. B. Explain why cyanoacetic acid and methoxyacetic acid are more acidic than their correspondingly substituted benzoic acid counterparts.arrow_forwardDraw the curved arrow mechanism for this reaction starting with 2-propanol in sulfuric acid. Show all nonzero formal charges and all nonbonded electrons in each step. Species not involved in a particular step do not need to be included in that step, and resonance forms do not need to be shown. Note that the alcohol is in much higher concentration than H₂O in this reaction. Harrow_forward
