Textbook Question
Chapter 18.9, Problem 16P
Acetolactate synthase is another TPP-requiring enzyme. It, too, catalyzes the decarboxylation of pyruvate, but it transfers the resulting acyl group to another molecule of pyruvate, forming acetolactate. This is the first step in the biosynthesis of the amino acids valine and leucine. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.

What is the IUPAC name of each of the the following? 0 CH3CHCNH₂ CH3 CH3CHCNHCH2CH3 CH3arrow_forwardYou have now performed a liquid-liquid extraction protocol in Experiment 4. In doing so, you manipulated and exploited the acid-base chemistry of one or more of the compounds in your mixture to facilitate their separation into different phases. The key to understanding how liquid- liquid extractions work is by knowing which layer a compound is in, and in what protonation state. The following liquid-liquid extraction is different from the one you performed in Experiment 4, but it uses the same type of logic. Your task is to show how to separate apart Compound A and Compound B. . Complete the following flowchart of a liquid-liquid extraction. Handwritten work is encouraged. • Draw by hand (neatly) only the appropriate organic compound(s) in the boxes. .
