Question
Chapter 26.5, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
In peptide analysis, -SH groups of cysteine are capped by SN2 reaction with iodoacetate.
Concept introduction:
In preparation for analysis, the peptide is broken into its constituent amino acids by reducing all disulfide bonds, capping the -SH groups of cysteine residues by SN2 reaction with iodoacetic acid, and hydrolyzing the amide bonds by heating with aqueous 6 M HCl at 110°C for 24 hours.
To determine:
Structure of product that would be obtained by SN2 reaction of cysteine and iodoacetic acid.

- b) Certain cyclic compounds are known to be conformationally similar to carbohydrates, although they are not themselves carbohydrates. One example is Compound C shown below, which could be imagined as adopting four possible conformations. In reality, however, only one of these is particularly stable. Circle the conformation you expect to be the most stable, and provide an explanation to justify your choice. For your explanation to be both convincing and correct, it must contain not only words, but also "cartoon" orbital drawings contrasting the four structures.
