What amino acid is formed when CH3CONHCH(CO2Et)2is treated with the following series of reagents:

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Serine

Serine is one of the 20 amino acids found in many proteins, and contains amino, carboxyl, and alcohol group.Serine is a water-loving amino acid, which is why it is a polar hydrophilic amino acid.

02

Reagents

NaOEt acts as co-enzymes for the reaction, formaldehyde is used for preservation, and hydrolysis is used to break down by adding water molecules that make the solution acidic.

03

Reaction

When diethyl acetamidomalonate is treated with NaOEt, CH2=O undergoes hydrolysis and heat is given forms serine amino acid.

Write out a scheme for the resolution of the two enantiomers of the antiplatelet drug clopidogrel with 10-camphorsulfonic acid.

Use the given experimental data to deduce the sequence of an octapeptide that contains the following amino acids: Ala, Gly (2 equiv), His (2 equiv), Ile, Leu and Phe. Edman degradation cleaves Gly from the octapeptide, and carboxypeptidase forms Leu and a heptapeptide. Partial hydrolysis forms the following fragments: Ile-His-Leu, Gly, Gly-Ala-Phe-His, and Phe-His-Ile.
