Concept introduction:
Asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation is a reaction in which the alkene substrate is reduced to a saturated compound by addition of two atoms of hydrogen. When chiral catalyst is used a enantioselective product is obtained. This technique uses a chiral catalyst so that the amino acids can be prepared with high enantiomeric excess.
The final step after hydrogenation is the hydrolysis of the protected group of

Interpretation:
The alkenes required for the synthesis of given set of amino acids by asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation need to be identified.

I have a 500 Hz H-NMR for 1,5-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-penta-1,4-dien-3-one. I need to label the signals with the corresponding H's. Then, find out if the two alkenes are cis or trans by calculating the J values. I believe that I have the H-NMR labeled correctly, but not sure if I got the J values correct to determine if the two alkenes in the compound will make the compound cis or trans.arrow_forwardWhat is the only possible H-Sb-H bond angle in SbH3?arrow_forward
