Chapter 18.8, Problem DQ
The following sequence of steps is used to create the
- 1. Step 1 would best be performed at a pH below the pKa of ammonium.
- 2. Step 1 would create an imine that undergoes nucleophilic attack by cyanide in Step 2.
- 3. The hydrolysis of the nitrile created in Step 2 would be better performed in base rather than the acid shown.
- 4. Step 4 is a resolution of a racemic mixture that results from Steps 1–3 and does not require a chiral reagent.

The hydrolysis of the ester shown here is catalyzed by morpholine. Explain how morpholine catalyzes the reaction. (Hint: The pKa of the conjugateacid of morpholine is 9.3, so morpholine is too weak a base to function as a base catalyst.)
