Chapter 25, Problem 76PP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product formed when L-valine is treated the given set of reagents need to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Esterification is a process in which a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol in presence of acid to form an ester by loss of water molecule.  The general scheme of Fischer esterification can be shown as,

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Concept introduction:

Boc-protection of amino group in amino acids is an important reaction in peptide chemistry.  This prevents the amino group from involving additional reactions forming by-products.  The nitrogen atom of carbamate is less nucleophilic than the nitrogen atom of amine because its lone pair is delocalized by the neighboring carboxyl group.  Boc-protection can be done by reaction of amino acid with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate.  The steps involved in Boc-protection of amino acid are,

  • Nucleophilic attack to form tetrahedral intermediate
  • Loss of leaving group to reform carbonyl
  • Proton transfer to give protected amino acid

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Concept introduction:

Amino acid has both acidic and basic group, namely carboxylic acid and amine group respectively.  Deprotonation or protonation can occur depending upon the conditions.  The carboxylic acid is deprotonated in basic condition and amine group is protonated at acidic conditions.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Concept introduction:

Amino acid has both acidic and basic group, namely carboxylic acid and amine group respectively.  Deprotonation or protonation can occur depending upon the conditions.  The carboxylic acid is deprotonated in basic condition and amine group is protonated at acidic conditions.

2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all stereoisomers of this compound. HO OH
Considering rotation around the bond highlighted in red, draw the Newman projection for the most stable and least stable conformations when viewed down the red bond in the direction of the arrow. Part 1 of 2 H₁₂C H H Draw the Newman projection for the most stable conformation. Select a template to begin. Part 2 of 2 Draw the Newman projection for the least stable conformation. G 心
personality of each of them in terms of nucleophile vs. electrophile (some can be considered acids/bases but we are not looking at that here). Note you may have to use your growing intuition to figure out the personality of one of the molecules below but I believe in you! Rationalize it out based on what we have called strong versus weak electrophiles in past mechanisms. Consider using the memes below to help guide your understanding!
