Question
Chapter 24.3, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure should be drawn for the decarboxylation of the pyruvate –TPP intermediate and the decarboxylation of a Beta – keto group and then similarity between these two structures has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is the coenzyme required by enzymes that catalyse the transfer of an acyl group.

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups.
