Answer

Step by step solution

01

Chemical reaction

Chemical reaction is a reaction where reactants are reacted and desired products are formed.Chemical reaction can be carried out in both organic and inorganic compounds. It depends upon catalyst, temperature, and reactant.

02

Reagent’s role

Acetic anhydride is used for acetylation, manufacturing cigarette filters, and wood preservative.

03

Reaction

When the mixture of enantiomers of leucine is treated with (CH3CO)2 O and acylaseN-acetyl-(S)-leucine and N-acetyl-(R)-leucine are formed.

Formation of (S)-leucine and (R)-leucine
