Question
Chapter 26, Problem 44P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
(a) The mechanism using curved arrows to show the flow of electrons is to be suggested for the given cyclization reaction.
(b) A stepwise mechanism is to be written for the hydrolysis of the conjugate acid of the iminolactone to corresponding lactone that cleaves the peptide chain.
Concept Introduction:
Cyanogen bromide adds to the sulfur atom of the methionine residue forming a sulfonium ion.
The sulfonium ion cyclizes to form an iminolactone.
Iminolactone undergoes hydrolysis, cleaving the bond between nitrogen and the ring carbon. This results in the peptide chain being cleaved between carbonyl of the methionine residue and the next amino acid.

Ethyleneimine reacts with cysteine side chains in proteins to form S - aminoethyl derivatives. The peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of these modified cysteine residues are susceptible to hydrolysis by trypsin . Why?
Para-aminobenzoic acid has two ionizable groups. One is a
carboxylic acid that ionizes through loss of a proton thereby forming a charged
para-aminobenzoic acid
carboxylate anion, and the other is an amine connected to
an aromatic (benzene) ring that ionizes by accepting an H+
to form a positively charged ammonium ion.
The pk of the carboxylic acid is 4.9 and the pk of the
amino group is 2.5. Assume that the intracellular pH within a
bacterial cell is 7.0.

A chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely
prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces
gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H, recep-
tors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted gua-
nidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be
more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.
