What steps are needed to convert A to L-dopa, an uncommon amino acid that is effective in treating Parkinson’s disease? These steps are the key reactions in the rst commercial asymmetric synthesis using a chiral transition metal catalyst. This process was developed at Monsanto in 1974.
Identify X and Y, two mtamediates m the synthesis of the antidepressant venlafaxme (effexor) m the following reaction scheme.
An aldopentose "O", is oxidized with HNO3 to a diacid "P" which is optically active. The compound "O", is also degraded to an aldotetrose "Q" which undergoes another oxidation to an optically inactive diacid "R". Assuming that "O" has the configuration D-(4R); what are the structures of "O" to "R"?

- (S)-Glutamic acid is one of the 20 amino acid building blocks of polypeptides and proteins (Chapter 27). Propose a mechanism for the following conversion.arrow_forwardAn optically active D-aldopentose (A) produced an optically inactive alditol (B) upon treatment with H2/Pt. When the aldopentose (A) was subjected to a Ruff degradation, D-aldotetrose (C) was generated. The aldotetrose (C) gave an optically active aldaric acid (D) upon oxidation with HNO3. D-aldopentose (A) can be prepared from D-threose by a Killani Fischer synthesis. Propose structure of A through D.arrow_forwardTreatment with NaBH 4 converts aldose U into an optically inactive (meso) alditol V. Ruff degradation ofU gives W, whose alditol is optically inactive. Ruff degradation of W forms D-glyceraldehyde, thesimplest aldose. Upon Kiliani-Fischer synthesis, U is converted to two aldoses, X and Y. X is oxidized toan optically active aldaric acid Z. Y is oxidized to an optically inactive aldaric acid. Draw the structuresof D-glyceraldehyde, V, W, X, Y, and Z. Structure of compound U is shown below.arrow_forward

The Mutarrotation of D-glucopyranose is catalyzed by acid and bases. 2-Hydroxypyridine is a more effective catalyst than phenol and pyridine for this reaction because:  a.Both oxygen and N in 2-hydroxypyridine act as bases increasing the rapid interconversion of sugar b. The OH of 2-hydroxypyridine serves as the base while the current N as the acid. c. 2-hydroxypyridine acts both as a base to remove the proton from the hydroxyl group in the hemiacetal and as an acid to provide a proton to the oxygen in the hemiacetal. d.Phenol and pyridine are very expensive.arrow_forward
