Chapter 25, Problem 57PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Why there is a difference in yield when alanine and valine is prepared via amidomalonate synthesis need to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Amidomalonate synthesis is a process in which a halide is converted to a aminoacid with two new carbon atoms (comes from amidomalonate).  By use of this method a new alkyl groups can be introduced.  A general scheme of this synthesis is shown below,

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 25, Problem 57PP

Steps involved in amidomalonater synthesis are,

  • Deprotonation of α carbon in amidomalonate
  • Alkylation of enolate
  • Hydrolysis of ester using aqueous acid
  • Decarboxylation at high temperature

Please remember that if the primary alkyl halide reactivity is more than secondary alkyl halide due to less steric hindrance.
