Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The curved arrow mechanism for the given transformation is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The decarboxylation of amino acid involves the removal of the carboxyl group with the release of a carbon dioxide molecule. In organic chemistry, it is known in many name reactions. In photosynthesis, the first step is the addition of carbon dioxide which is the reverse step of decarboxylation and is known as carboxylation process.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The group that served as an electron sink for the decarboxylation mechanism is to be stated.

Enalapril is an anti-hypertension "prodrug" (i.e, a drug precursor) that is inactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid ("enalaprilat") that results from this hydrolysis reaction. (a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be akdministered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill, but enalaprilat does not? EtOoC -NH CH3 HOOC Enalapril (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin. ACE has a KM = 12 µM for angiotensin, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 75 µM. When enalaprilat is present at 2.4 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 10% of its uninhib- ited activity. What is the value of K; for enalaprilat?
How would you account for the following :(a) Electrophilic susbstitution in case of aromatic amines takes place more readily than benzene.(b) Ethanamide is a weaker base than ethanamine.
(b) Suggest a reasonable biosynthesis for the naturally occurring alkaloid coniine (isolated from hemlock), starting from octanoic acid. Coniine
