Question
Chapter 16, Problem 28P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A reasonable structure for the sulfur-containing amino acid cystine is to be suggested and the structures of cysteine sulfinic acid and cysteic acid are to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation is also be defined as loss of one or more hydrogen atoms in the structure of a compound.
Oxidation can also be defined as a gain of one or more oxygen atoms.
Amino acids containing sulfur undergo oxidation by dimerization through the sulfur atoms.
A disulfide compounds results through such an oxidation. A bond is formed between two sulfur atoms by the loss of the hydrogens attached to these sulfur atoms.

She discovered that P is a tripeptide that is optically active and has the molecular formula C21H25N3O5. As a part of the validation process, she tested compound P on different scientific tests. When compound P is reacted with sodium hydroxide its produced salt Q, C21H25N3NAO5 as a major product. Compound P also reacted with sodium bicarbonate to produced salt R as a major product and two side products. Both salts have a similar molecular formula. The reaction of compound P with thionyl chloride produced compound S, C21H23Cl½N3O3. Compound T is formed when compound P reacted with alcohol U, C4H100.
