Chapter 25.3, Problem 18CC

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amino acids formed when the given set of aldehydes is subjected to Strecker synthesis need to be found out and named.

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,

EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, ENHANCED ETEXT, Chapter 25.3, Problem 18CC , additional homework tip  1

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 aminoacid formed by Strecker synthesis when acetaldehyde is used and name the amino acid.
