Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The stepwise sequence to resolve the racemic mixture of leucine enantiomers into optically active amino acids using
Concept introduction: Racemic mixture is a mixture of enantiomers in equal amounts. It is optically inactive. Racemic mixture can be resolved by the conversion of enantiomers into diastereomers.

Draw the structure of the tetrapeptide Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr. Please show the appropriate stereochemistry of the natural amino acids in the resulting peptide. Please draw all ionizable groups in their neutral form.
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.
