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_forwardDraw a structural formula for 2-propanamine. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. 2 9-85 // # CHA 00- [F ?
