Question
Chapter 26.4, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The steps in the synthesis of valine from diethyl acetamidomalonate are to be outlined. A reason for the low yield of about
Concept Introduction:
The hydrogen bonded to the carbon between the two ester groups of diethylmalonate is acidic because of the adjacent electron withdrawing groups.
Deprotonation with a strong base such as an alkoxide generates a carbanion which can act as a nucleophile.

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.
