Question
Chapter 28.7, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Determine the mechanism for the cleavage of β-cyanoethyl protective group by using aqueous ammonia and state the type of occurring reaction.
Concept introduction:
The cleavage of β-cyanoethyl protective group occurs according to the β-elimination mechanism. In β-elimination mechanism, the bond β to the nucleophilic pair of electrons breaks. The elimination reaction involves the breaking of the sigma (σ) bond and the formation of new pie (π) bond. In this process a lone pair electron forms a double bond as the leaving group departs.
Given information:
The cleavage of β-cyanoethyl protective group can be done by aqueous ammonia. The by-product of this reaction is acrylonitrile.

An orange laser has a wavelength of 610 nm. What is the energy of this light?
The molar absorptivity of a protein in water at 280 nm can be estimated within ~5-10% from its content of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan and from the number of disulfide linkages (R-S-S-R) between cysteine residues:
Ε280 nm (M-1 cm-1) ≈ 5500 nTrp + 1490 nTyr + 125 nS-S
where nTrp is the number of tryptophans, nTyr is the number of tyrosines, and nS-S is the number of disulfide linkages. The protein human serum transferrin has 678 amino acids including 8 tryptophans, 26 tyrosines, and 19 disulfide linkages. The molecular mass of the most dominant for is 79550.
Predict the molar absorptivity of transferrin.
Predict the absorbance of a solution that’s 1.000 g/L transferrin in a 1.000-cm-pathlength cuvet.
