(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) What is the difference between the hormones progesterone and testosterone? (b) Draw the structure of a a steroid nucleus. (c) Give the products obtained from complete base hydrolysis in the following reaction: O || CH,−O−C−(CH2)14–CH3 O CH–0–C−(CH2)14—CH3 + 3 NaOH O CH,−0–C−(CH2)14–CH3arrow_forwardTreating chitin with H2O, -OH hydrolyzes its amide linkages, forming a compound called chitosan. What is the structure of chitosan? Chitosan has been used in shampoos, bers for sutures, and wound dressings.arrow_forward(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_forward
- Predict 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_forwardSynthesize attached compound from benzonitrile (C6H5CN) as the onlyorganic starting material; that is, every carbon in the product mustoriginate in benzonitrilearrow_forward
- Glutamic acid has three ionizable groups. The pKa of α-COOH is 2.19; a-NH 3+, 9.67; and the R-group, 4.25. What is the charge of glutamic acid at pH 10.00?arrow_forwardGlutamic acid has three ionizable groups. The pKa of α-COOH is 2.19; α-NH 3 + , 9.67; and the R-group, 4.25. What is the predominant charge of glutamic acid at pH 10.00?arrow_forwardTrue/ False Lipids are non-polar compounds and are soluble in water Steroids and Prostaglandins are classes of compounds which are not saponifiable Triglycerides are simple lipids and are made up of long chain fatty acids esterified with the trihydroxy groups of glycerol. Waxes are esters of long chain fatty acids with long chain alcohols. Sphingomyelins are a class of saponifiable complex lipids and are made up of sphingosine phosphate and amino alcohols.arrow_forward
- A triglyceride undergoes hydrolysis under acidic conditions to give glycerine and product P1. A triglyceride can also undergo hydrolysis under basic conditions to give glycerine and product P2. Which of the following is true? P2 is a soap and P1 is a detergent P2 is a carboxylic acid and P1 is soap P1 is a carboxylic acid and P2 is soap P1 and P2 are identical P1 is a soap and P2 is a detergentarrow_forwardEnzyme-catalyzed decarboxylation of glutamic acid gives 4-aminobutanoic acid .
