Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The general type of reaction in each given step of citric acid cycle has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The chemical oxidant has the tendency to oxidize other substances. One the strongest oxidizing agent is potassium permanganate which oxidizes various functional groups like alcohols,
(b)
Interpretation:
The common thing in the given two steps of citric acid cycle has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation process in organic compounds takes place in the presence of various oxidizing agents. The process of oxidation can be used to convert the hydroxyl group into ketone.
(c)
Interpretation:
The chiral carbon atom in the given structures has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
In an organic compound the carbon atom that is linked to four different varieties of atoms or groups of atoms is considered as an asymmetric carbon atom which is also referred to as chiral carbon.
