Chorismate mutase is an enzyme that promotes a pericyclic reaction by forcing the substrate to assume the conformation needed for the reaction. The product of the pericyclic reaction is prephenate that is subsequently converted into the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. What kind of a pericyclic reaction does chorismate mutase catalyze?
Compound A is a D-aldopentose that can be oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid B. On Kiliani-Fischer chain extension, A is
converted into C and D; C can be oxidized to an optically active aldaric acid E, but D is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid
F.
What is the structure of compound F?
• Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.
You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.
If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.
• Show stereochemistry in a meso compound.
• Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.

In contrast to aniline, the contributing structures that delocalize the nitrogen lone pairs onto the rings creates partial negative charges on electronegative atoms. 3. In contrast to aniline, the hydrogen bond accepting ability of the lone pairs on the -NH2 groups of the DNA bases is better when these amino groups are sp2 hybridized. 4. Both 2 and 3.arrow_forward
