Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The curved arrow mechanism for the given transformation is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The decarboxylation of amino acid involves the removal of the carboxyl group with the release of a carbon dioxide molecule. In organic chemistry, it is known in many name reactions. In photosynthesis, the first step is the addition of carbon dioxide which is the reverse step of decarboxylation and is known as carboxylation process.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The group that served as an electron sink for the decarboxylation mechanism is to be stated.
