Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The products obtained from the following reactions are to be determined: treating tyrosine with excess bromine water, reaction of phenylalanine with ethanol in the presence of hydrogen chloride, and the reaction of alanine and benzoyl chloride in aqueous base.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids contain both carboxyl group and an amino group. Both, carboxyl groups and amino groups donate and accept protons from water, respectively, to form ions. Amino acids form double ionized species by this exchange of protons in a solution between carboxyl group and amino group. These double ionized species are termed as zwitter ions.
Deactivating groups like
Amino acids reacts with alcohols to produce esters, and follow nucleophilic aryl substitution reaction and the process is called Fischer esterification.
Amino acids react with acid chlorides to form acetylation or benzoylation of amino acids occur.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help.
