Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure that represents the naturally occurring amino acid has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The configuration of stereoisomer is determined by Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system rules.
According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system,
The group attached to asymmetric center should be ranked based on the
Check the direction of arrow drawn in the direction of decreasing priority. If the arrow points clockwise direction, then the compound has R configuration. If the arrow points counterclockwise direction, then the compound has S configuration. If the group with lowest priority is not bonded by a hatched wedge, then interchange this group (lowest priority) by group bonded to hatched wedge and draw the arrow in priority order but the configuration is assigned as just reverse.

- For each of the following compounds,determine whether each is optically active. For optically active compounds, identify the chiral carbon: ethane, 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, CH3CH(NH2)COOH, CH3CH2CHClCH3and CH3CH2CH2CH3. And for non-optical active compounds, just provide the structure of the compoundarrow_forwardMaleic acid and fumaric acid are the cis- and trans- isomers, respectively, of C2H2(COOH)2, a dicarboxylic acid. Draw and label their structures.arrow_forwarda) If the pH value of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine [(CH3) 3N] is 10.75, what should be the molarity of this solution?

Is this solution an effective buffer? Explain (Kb = 7.4 × 10-10 for aniline, C: 12.0 g / mol, H: 1.0 g / mol, N: 14.0 g / mol, Cl: 35.4 g / mol) .arrow_forward
- Which statements are true about constitutional isomers? (a) They have the same molecular formula. (b) They have the same molecular weight. (c) They have the same order of attachment of atoms. (d) They have the same physical propertiesarrow_forwarda) If the pH value of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine [(CH3)3N] is 10.75, what should be the molarity of this solution?

- The [α] of pure quinine, an antimalarial drug, is −165.Calculate the ee of a solution with the following [α] values: −50, −83,and −120.For each ee, calculate the percent of each enantiomer present.What is [α] for the enantiomer of quinine?If a solution contains 80% quinine and 20% of its enantiomer, what isthe ee of the solution?What is [α] for the solution described in part (d)?arrow_forwardA well known non steroidal anti inflammation drug NSAID exists in two sterochemical forms. Only one is biologically active. Below is the structure of the biological active form. Identify the chiral center and determine if it is the R- or S- stereoisomer.arrow_forward(a) Draw the nine isomers having the formula C7H16 . (Hint: There is one structure with a seven-carbon chain, two structures with six-carbon chains [one is illustrated in the margin above], five structures with a five-carbon chain, and one structure with a fourcarbon chain.)(b) Identify the isomers of C7H16 that are chiral.arrow_forward
- The quantitative differences in biological activity between the two enantiomers of a compound are sometimes quite large. For example, the D isomer of the drug isoproterenol, used to treat mild asthma, is 50 to 80times more effective as a bronchodilator than the L isomer. Identify the chiral center in isoproterenol. Why do the two enantiomers have such radically different bioactivity?arrow_forwardMost naturally occurring amino acids have chiral centers (the asymmetric a carbon atoms)that are named (S) by the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog convention (Section 5-3). The commonnaturally occurring form of cysteine has a chiral center that is named (R), however.(a) What is the relationship between (R)-cysteine and (S)-alanine? Do they have the oppositethree-dimensional configuration (as the names might suggest) or the same configuration?(b) (S)-Alanine is an l-amino acid (Figure 24-2). Is (R)-cysteine a d-amino acid or anl-amino acid?arrow_forwardButanal (C4H&O) has eight H atoms. Suppose that any of these H atoms can be replaced by a Cl atom to yield a molecule with the formula C4H¬CIO.
