(a)
Interpretation:
The side chain carboxyl group converted to a benzyl ester using benzyl chloride as a source of benzyl group has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Benzyl ester is the protecting group used for the protection of carboxyl group in the amino acids. The protecting groups are used to prevent the
(b)
Interpretation:
The deprotection of the side chain carboxyl group under mild conditions without removing the BOC-protecting group at the same time has to be explained.

- (a) Predict the product of the reaction of KOH with 1-amino propane. (b) Predict the product of a deprotonated ethanol (an “ethanolate anion", O-CH2-CH3) with phenol (hydroxybenzene). (c) Predict the product of propanoic acid with deprotonated ethanol (an “ethanolate anion", O-CH2-CH3).arrow_forwardPredict the reactions of lipids under basic hydrolysis and with standard organicreagents. Show the reactions of the ester and olefinic groups of glycerides and thecarboxyl groups of fatty acids.arrow_forwardA chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted guanidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.arrow_forward
