- What products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds are hydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating inuenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the articial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products ofthis hydrolysis reaction is the amino acid phenylalanine. Infants afflicted with phenylketonuria cannot metabolize this amino acid, so it accumulates, causing mental retardation. When the affliction is identied early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.arrow_forwardWhy is the water solubility of a carboxylate salt greater than that of its parent carboxylic acid?
