Chapter 18: Q. 18.39 (page 638)

Which reaction(s) of the citric acid cycle involve(s) the production of a carbon-carbon double bond?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reaction6 of the citric acid cycle involve(s) the production of a carbon-carbon double bond

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find the reaction(s) of the citric acid cycle involve(s) the production of a carbon-carbon double bond

02

Explanation

As we can see in Reaction 6, dehydrogenation of succinate removes two hydrogen ions from the parent chain, resulting in the production of a carbon-carbon double bond. As demonstrated below, these hydrogen ions convert data-custom-editor="chemistry" FADto data-custom-editor="chemistry" FADH2.


As a result, Reaction 6is the reaction that has resulted in the formation of a carbon-carbon double bond.
