Question
Chapter 26, Problem 49DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The carbon atom of L-glutamic acid, which is involved in the only carbon-carbon bond forming step of the synthesis given, is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Natural L-glutamic acid has S configuration. If no reaction takes places at the chiral carbon atom of the amino acid, then its configuration is retained in the products formed.
The alpha carbon atom in the amino acid is attached to a nitrogen atom, the carboxyl carbon, and one other carbon atom.
Tracing the carbon atoms of the amino acid in the product, the carbon atoms of the amino acid in the product can be identified.

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.
