Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction conditions appropriate for the step 1 in the given reaction are to be determined on the basis of the information given.

Concept introduction:

The hydrogen atom attached to the alpha carbon atom of carbonyl compounds is acidic.

It can be abstracted by a base to generate an enolate ion.

The enolate ion can act as a nucleophile and react with alkyl halides via SN2 type of reaction.

Find an example of a chiral molecule in biology whose enantiomers have markedly different functions.  Where is the chiral center located, and how can it be identified?  Find and include an image of its molecular structure.  What function does the active enantiomer play biologically, and how is this function hindered or changed with the other enantiomer?  Are there any synthetic considerations for this molecule?
Another 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.
The peptide Proline-Serine-Alanine-Phenylalanine-Glutamine is present at pH 7. Draw the peptide and include stereochemistry.
