Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of more reactive enantiomer of sarin is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The phosphorous atom in the sarin is the chiral center having three different groups bonded to it. The stereochemistry of at the chiral center can be determined by assigning the priority to the groups attached according to the Cahn Ingold Prelog rules.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The product formed in the reaction of (S)-sarin with serine is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The enzyme catalyzed substitution reaction of phosphate ester derivate at phosphate proceeds through SN2 reaction and results in inversion of stereochemistry.
