Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for the synthesis of dehydroserine imine of pyridoxal phosphate A from the reaction of pyridoxal phosphate and serine is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme which is an active form of the vitamin
(b)
Interpretation:
The carbocation character of red carbon in structure A with the help of the resonance structure is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using a single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. The delocalization of electrons results in the formation of resonance structure.
(c)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for the biosynthesis of tryptophan is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
