Question
Chapter 26.SE, Problem 26MP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
During peptide synthesis fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl amide (Fmoc) derivatives are used to protect the
Concept introduction:
The Fmoc derivative is used to protect the amine group of amino acid during peptide formation. But it is important to remove the Fmoc derivative after peptide synthesis. This process is carried out using treatment with an aqueous base. Often amine base piperidine is used.
To determine:
The mechanism of removal of Fmoc derivative from amine group using the amine base piperidine.

Draw the mechanism for the reaction that removes an Fmoc group froman amino acid under these conditions:
(a) An aliphatic aminoglycoside is relatively stable to base, but it is quickly hydrolyzed bydilute acid. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis.NHHCH2RR2NH2 + sugarRHHOH OHOH Oan aliphatic ribosideH3O+ +(b) Ribonucleosides are not so easily hydrolyzed, requiring relatively strong acid.Using your mechanism for part (a), show why cytidine and adenosine (for example)are not so readily hydrolyzed. Explain why this stability is important for livingorganisms.
Show the mechanism and explain how the Ala-Val-Ile peptide bond is formed.
