Chapter 25, Problem 25.15P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

A curved arrow mechanism for the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine in which the amino acid methionine undergoes an enzyme-catalyzed reaction with ATP to give SAM and triphosphate, assuming it is an SN2  process is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

 SN2 reaction mechanism is a one step process. The nucleophile attacks the substrate from the backside, and the leaving group departs from the opposite side, simultaneously.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The role of Mg2+ ions in the catalytic process is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

A species which stabilizes the products of a reaction is useful by neutralizing the charge.

Please answer the question and provide a detailed drawing of the structure. If there will not be a new C – C bond, then the box under the drawing area will be checked.  Will the following reaction make a molecule with a new C – C bond as its major product:  Draw the major organic product or products, if the reaction will work. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry.
Please do not use AI.  AI cannot "see" the molecules properly, and it therefore gives the wrong answer while giving incorrect descriptions of the visual images we're looking at.  All of these compounds would be produced (I think).  In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason.  Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.
