Chapter 25.3, Problem 17CC

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reagents required for preparation of methionine, histidine, phenylalanine and leucine by using Strecker synthesis need to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Strecker synthesis is a process in which the aldehyde reacts with ammonium chloride and alkali cyanide to form α -aminonitrile.  The formed α -aminonitrile is undergoes hydrolysis to give the respective amino acids.  The general scheme can be shown as,

Steps involved in Strecker synthesis are,

  • Protonation of carbonyl
  • Nucleophilic attack of ammonia to form imine
  • Attack of cyanide to form α -aminonitrile
  • Hydrolysis to give α -aminoacid

To find: the reagents used for synthesis of methionine by Strecker synthesis.
