(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of alanine to alanine isopropyl ester and the structure of the product are to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The compounds that contain an amine group and a carboxyl group attached with a side chain usually alkyl or aromatic chains are known as amino acids. These compounds are used as structural units to make proteins. Amino acids join together with a peptide bond to form proteins.

Alanine is one of an αaminoacid consists of an amine group and a carboxyl group with a methyl side chain. It is non-polar and aliphatic amino acid.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of alanine to Nbenzoylalanine and the structure of the product are to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The compounds that contain an amine group and a carboxyl group attached with a side chain usually alkyl or aromatic chains are known as amino acids. These compounds are used as structural units to make proteins. Amino acids join together with a peptide bond to form proteins.

Alanine is one of an αaminoacid consists of an amine group and a carboxyl group with a methyl side chain. It is non-polar and aliphatic amino acid.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conversion of alanine to Nbenzyloxycarbonylalanine and the structure of the product are to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The compounds that contain an amine group and a carboxyl group attached with a side chain usually alkyl or aromatic chains are known as amino acids. These compounds are used as structural units to make proteins. Amino acids join together with a peptide bond to form proteins.

Show how you would convert alanine to the following derivatives. Show the structure of the product in each case. (c) N-benzyloxycarbonyl alanine (d) tert-butyloxycarbonyl alanine
Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at pH = 0
According to the paper, F486 is a phenylalanine residue (i.e., an amino acid that is part of a chain that forms a protein) on SARS-CoV-2. It has an important interaction with ACE2 (best seen in Fig. 1(C) and Fig. 2(A)). Looking at this phenylalanine and the green residues surrounding it, which statement best describes the interaction that could be occurring? a) It forms a hydrogen bond with Y83.  b) It forms a dipole-dipole interaction with M82.  c) It forms London dispersion forces with surrounding residues.  d) It encounters repulsions from surrounding residues.
