Chapter 26, Problem 82P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The number of decarboxylation reactions in the citric acid cycle should be determined.

Concept Introduction: Aerobic respiration occurs in two steps;

  • Glycolysis
  • Citric acid cycle

Glycolysis is the first step that forms pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen means aerobic respiration, this pyruvate enters in the Krebs cycle and extracts energy in the form of electrons transfer. Electrons are transferred from the pyruvate to the receptors like NAD+, GDP, and FAD and CO2 gas is formed as the waste product. The products of citric acid cycles act as precursors for electron transport chains.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The concurrent oxidizing agent in the decarboxylation steps in the citric acid cycle should be determined.

Identify the missing starting materials/ reagents/ products in the following reactions. Show the stereochemistry clearly in the structures, if any. If there is a major product, draw the structures of the major product with stereochemistry clearly indicated where applicable. Show only the diastereomers (you do not have to draw the pairs of enantiomers). If you believe that multiple products are formed in approximately equal amounts (hence neither is the major product), draw the structures of the products, and show the detailed mechanism of these reactions to justify the formation of the multiple products. If you believe no product is formed, explain why briefly. (6 mark for each, except f and g, which are 10 mark each)
3. What starting material would you use to synthesize 3-hydroxypentanoic acid using a NaBH4 reduction?
1. Give stereochemical (Fischer projection) formulas for all (but no extras) the stereoisomers that could theoretically form during the reduction of a. the carbonyl group of 2-methyl-3--pentanone b. both carbonyl groups of 2,4-pentanedione (careful!) 2. Predict the products of the reduction of O=CCH2CH2CH2C=O with a. LiAlH4 b. NaBH4 CH3 OH
