A structural reason for the reaction being so favorable, is to be suggested.
Concept Introduction:
Overall reaction is said to be favorable when the products are more stable than the reactants.
Answer to Problem 25.36AP
This reaction is favorable because the overall conversion is from a less stable thioester to a more stable oxoester.
Explanation of Solution
This reaction is favorable because the overall conversion is from a thioester to a more stable ester.
This reaction is favorable because the overall conversion is from a thioester to a more stable ester.

- Esterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of esters. It hydrolyzes esters of L-amino acids more rapidly than esters of d-amino acids. How can this enzyme be used to separate a racemic mixture of amino acids?arrow_forwardSuggest a reason why decane1CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH32 does not exhibitliquid crystalline behaviorarrow_forwardYou do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. Draw phosphate groups, when present, as in the question: in basic form and with a phosphorous oxygen double bond.arrow_forward
- Is meclizine chiral? If so, how many of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardIs ganglefene chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardWhat is the product/s when Asetone is allowed to react with KMno4, H2O, NaOH while being heated in the presence of HCl. is there any sereochemistry associated with this reactionarrow_forward
- What is the difference between homolysis vs. heterolysis. Show by giving an example.arrow_forwardBriefly outline how the enantiomers of phenylsuccinic acid will be separated from each other, starting from racemic phenylsuccinic acid to isolating (+)-phenylsuccinic acid. Explain the purpose of each step.arrow_forwardAnother strategy used to resolve amino acids involves converting the carboxy group to an ester and then using a chiral carboxylic acid to carry out an acid–base reaction at the free amino group. Using a racemic mixture of alanine enantiomers and (R)-mandelic acid as resolving agent, write out the steps showing how a resolution process would occur.arrow_forward
- Is proparacaine chiral? If so, how many of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardThoroughly explain why (a)malthose is a reducing sugar while trehalose is not based on their structures. (b)Why is trehalose very resistant to acid hydrolysis while maltose can be acid-hydrolyzed with ease. Give clear explanations.arrow_forwardIdentify the hemiacetal function in lactose and show mechanistically how the stereochemistry at that carbon can easily invert, especially in the presence of acids and bases.arrow_forward
