Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why amino acids are insoluble in diethyl ether but N-acetyl amino acids are soluble is to be explained.
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 amino acids are classified into acidic, basic, polar, non-polar, essential, and non-essential categories. The three word abbreviation or one word abbreviation is used for amino acids.
