Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The structure of (R)- and (S)-penicillamine is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The configuration of compound is R and S when the substituents around stereogenic center, from higher priority to lower priority, are present in clockwise and anticlockwise direction, respectively.
(b)
Interpretation: The disulfide formed by the oxidation of (S)-penicillamine is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. A disulphide bond is formed when two amino acids containing

- Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forwardAmino acids such as glycine are the building blocks of large molecules called proteins that give structure to muscle, tendon, hair, and nails. a. Explain why glycine does not actually exist in the form with all atoms uncharged, but actually exists as a salt called a zwitterion. b. What product is formed when glycine is treated with concentrated HCl? c. What product is formed when glycine is treated with NaOH?arrow_forwardCeramide can then be used to synthesize sphingomyelin, another important molecule that is prevalent in cell membranes. 1.How does the structure of sphingomyelin differ from that of ceramide? 2.Sphingomyelin is also found in the cell membrane. Explain how you would expect to find the orientation of this molecule in the cell membrane. 3.Which amino alcohol is used in the synthesis of sphingomyelin? 4.What is particular about the amino alcohol used in in the synthesis of sphingomyelin? 5.How does your answer to #16 affect the physical properties of properties of sphingomyelin?arrow_forward

- The LD50 (“Lethal Dose, 50 %”) is a value used in toxicology which gives the amount of a substance required to kill 50 % of a test population. It is usually reported based on body weight. For racemic carvone LD50 is reported as 1640 mg/kg. 1. Would it consider carvone to be toxic to an average person? Explain. 2. Would it be expected this the LD50 value to be the same for each enantiomer? Explain at the molecular level in stereochemical terms.arrow_forwardA. The water solubility of amines found in medications can be increased by salt formation. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, a cough suppresant, is the salt formed from dextromethorphan (XX) and hydrobromic acid (HBr). Write the equation for the formation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide. B. Suggest appropriate starting materials ( amine and alkyl halide) needed for the preparation of each of the following salts: 1. Cetylpyridinium chloride 2. Benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloridearrow_forwardThe amino acid (S)-alanine has the physical characteristics listed under the structure. ÇOOH a. What is the melting point of (R)-alanine? b. How does the melting point of a racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-alanine compare to the melting point of (S)-alanine? c. What is the specific rotation of (A)-alanine, recorded under the same conditions as the reported rotation of (S)-alanine? d. What is the optical rotation of a racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-alanine? e. Label each of the following as optically active or inactive: a solution of pure (S)-alanine; an equal mixture of (R)- and (S)-alanine; a solution that contains 75% (S)- and 25% (R)-alanine.
