Chlorophyll, heme, vitamin B12, and a host of other substances are synthesized from porphobilinogen, which is itself formed from the condensation of two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate. The two 5-aminolevulinates are bound to lysine (Lys) residues in the enzyme, one in the
enamine form and the other in the imine form. Condensation is thought to occur via a several step process, one of which is shown below.

- Early organic chemists used the Hofmann elimination reaction as the last step of a process known as a Hofmann degradation—a method used to identify amines. In a Hofmann degradation, an amine is methylated with excess methyl iodide in a basic solution, treated with silver oxide to convert the quaternary ammonium iodide to a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and then heated to allow it to undergo a Hofmann elimination. Once the alkene product is identified, working backward gives the structure of the amine. Identify the amine in each of the following cases: a. 4-Methyl-2-pentene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. b. 3-Methyl-1-butene is obtained from the Hofmann degradation of a primary amine. c. 2-Methyl-1-3-butadiene is obtained from two successive Hofmann degradations of a secondary amine.arrow_forwardAnilines can be converted into diazonium salts by reaction with nitrous acid.

It breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after it binds the acetylcholine receptor. Its active site has the same features used by serine proteases. Here is the reaction catalyzed by Acetylcholine esterase: Acetylcholine Choline OH Acetate + H Acetylcholine is an ester, while peptide bonds cleaved by proteases are amides. How should acetylcholine estease's mechanism accommodate this? This cannot be determined from the information presented in class and in this question. For amides, the amide nitrogen is deprotonate to make it more like an ester. The same mechanism cleaves deprotonated amides and esters. No changes are needed. The mechanism same works for esters and amides. Prior to cleavage, a transamination converts the ester to an amide. The esterase will make a covalent intermediate to an amine to create the amide to be cleaved.arrow_forward

This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind.

Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD): మగవా జి N-H LSD (CH25N;O) Like other alkaloids, LSD is a weak base, with Kp = 7.6 × 107.

- A variation of the acetamidomalonate synthesis can be used to synthesize serine. The process involves the following steps: Ethoxide ion deprotonates diethyl acetamidomalonate, forming enolate anion 1; Enolate anion 1 makes a nucleophilic attack on formaldehyde, forming tetrahedral intermediate 2; Protonation of the oxyanion forms alcohol 3; Acid hydrolysis yields dicarboxyamino alcohol 4; Decarboxylation leads to the final amino acid. Write out the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper, and then draw the structure of tetrahedral intermediate 2. You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
