Reactions at the Alpha Carbon Atom
The position next to the ketone or aldehyde functional group is termed as alpha position and the reaction which occurs at alpha position is called alpha substitution reaction. In an alpha substitution reaction, the alpha proton atom is substituted by an …

Chapter 23, Problem 23.2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A stepwise mechanism for the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3−phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: The chemical equilibrium that exists between a keto form of a compound and an enol form of the same compound is known as keto-enol tautomerism. Tautomers refer to these keto and enol forms. The keto-enol tautomerism takes place only if the acidic hydrogen is present at the α−carbon atom.

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory agent because it inhibits the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins by the transfer of its acetyl group (CH3CO−) to an OH group at the active site of an enzyme. This reaction, called transesterification, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterification.
