CHEM 203 HOMEWORK 4 Chemistry of Alkenes - II CHEM 203 HOMEWORK 4 Chemistry of Alkenes - II 1. The following questions may have occurred to you: (i) do carbocations occur in living systems? (ii) Can an olefin (a Lewis base) react with a carbocation (a Lewis acid)? To address these questions, consider the following. At this very moment, certain enzymes in your liver are producing cholesterol and related steroids. These enzymes take up an endogenous olefinic compound called squalene and convert it into a carbocation that may be represented with structure A below. The enzymes also keep this carbocation in the rigidly defined conformation shown, protecting it from the action of external nucleophiles and promoting or disfavoring various chemical reactions, including rearrangements. Under such conditions, A is rapidly transformed into lanosterol, which is the precursor of cholesterol and of all other steroids. enzymes squalene mechanism? A HO HO lanosterol Answer the above questions by writing a detailed mechanism for the conversion of A into lanosterol.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Monitoring of heat‑induced carcinogenic compounds (3‑monochloropropane‑1,2‑diol esters and glycidyl esters) in fries Yu Hua Wong1, Kok Ming Goh1,2, Kar Lin Nyam2, Ling Zhi Cheong3, Yong Wang4, Imededdine Arbi Nehdi5,6, Lamjed Mansour7 & Chin Ping Tan1* 3‑Monochloropropane‑1,2‑diol (3‑MCPD) esters and glycidyl esters (GE) are heat‑induced contaminants which form during oil refning process, particularly at the high temperature deodorization stage. It is worth to investigate the content of 3‑MCPD and GE in fries which also involved high temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters and GE were monitored in fries. The factors that been chosen were temperature and duration of frying, and diferent concentration of salt (NaCl). The results in our study showed that the efect was in the order of concentration of sodium chloride < frying duration < frying temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters was signifcantly increased whereas GE was signifcantly decreased, when prolong the frying duration. A high temperature results in a high 3‑MCPD ester level but a low GE level in fries. The present of salt had contributed signifcant infuence to the generation of 3‑MCPD. The soaking of potato chips in salt showed no signifcant efect on the level of GE during the frying. The oil oxidation tests showed that all the fries were below the safety limit. Hence, the frying cycle, temperature and the added salt to carbohydrate‑based food during frying should be monitored. Deep-fat frying is commonly being used to process food. During the process, heat transfer between the fried food and oil is occurs.

  • Than Was the Monoleucyl Ester of Cis-Cyclopentane-1,2-Diol
    SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE MECHANISM OF THE ACYLATION PROCESS IN PROTEIN SYNTHESIS* BY BEVERLY E. GRIFFIN AND C. B. REESE UNIVERSITY CHEMICAL LABORATORY, CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND Communicated by Lord Todd, January 2, 1964 During recent years much attention has been given to the mechanism of synthesis of proteins in biological systems.' Although the process is by no means fully understood, some of the steps involved appear to be well established.2-4 Before amino acids can be incorporated into polypeptide chains they must first be "activated." The "activation" process involves ribonucleic acids of comparatively low molecular weight, known as "transfer" or "soluble" ribonucleic acids (sRNA), adenosine-5' triphosphate (ATP) as an energy source, and a specific enzyme for each amino acid. In the first step of the "activation" process, the amino acid reacts with ATP to form a mixed anhydride with adenosine-5' phosphate (AMP) releasing inorganic pyrophosphate; this mixed anhydride then acylates a specific sRNA on its terminal nucleoside (adenosine) residue to yield a 2' (or 3')-aminoacyl ester-the "activated" amino-acid. These processes are reversible. ATP + amino acid aminoacyl-AMP + pyrophosphate (1) sRNA + aminoacyl-AMP aminoacyl-sRNA + AMP (2) Beyond this point our knowledge of the process of polypeptide synthesis is less certain. The "activated" amino acids are believed to be transferred to the ribo- somes-the site of assembly of polypeptide chains-and then the amino acids become linked together in a genetically controlled order to synthesize a specific protein.5 Although there is as yet no definite evidence regarding this final step, it is frequently assumed that it involves a simple acylation as indicated in step (3).

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Ulf Nilsson (Lund University). Abstract Al-Smadi, D. 2018. Carboligation using the aldol reaction. A comparison of stereoselectivity and methods. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1730. 50 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0472-4. The research summarized in this thesis focuses on synthesizing aldehyde and aldol compounds as substrates and products for the enzyme D-fructose-6-aldolase (FSA). Aldolases are important enzymes for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in nature. In biological systems, aldol reactions, both cleavage and formation play central roles in sugar metabolism. Aldolases exhibit high degrees of stereoselectivity and can steer the product configurations to a given enantiomeric and diastereomeric form. To become truly useful synthetic tools, the substrate scope of these enzymes needs to become broadened. In the first project, phenylacetaldehyde derivatives were synthesized for the use as test substrates for E. coli FSA. Different methods were discussed to prepare phenylacetaldehyde derivatives, the addition of a one carbon unit to benzaldehyde derivatives using a homologation reaction was successful and was proven efficient and non-sensitive to the moisture.

  • Aldehydes Can React with Alcohols to Form Hemiacetals
    340 14 . Nucleophilic substitution at C=O with loss of carbonyl oxygen You have, in fact, already met some reactions in which the carbonyl oxygen atom can be lost, but you probably didn’t notice at the time. The equilibrium between an aldehyde or ketone and its hydrate (p. 000) is one such reaction. O HO OH H2O + R1 R2 R1 R2 When the hydrate reverts to starting materials, either of its two oxygen atoms must leave: one OPh came from the water and one from the carbonyl group, so 50% of the time the oxygen atom that belonged to the carbonyl group will be lost. Usually, this is of no consequence, but it can be useful. O For example, in 1968 some chemists studying the reactions that take place inside mass spectrometers needed to label the carbonyl oxygen atom of this ketone with the isotope 18 O. 16 18 By stirring the ‘normal’ O compound with a large excess of isotopically labelled water, H 2 O, for a few hours in the presence of a drop of acid they were able to make the required labelled com- í In Chapter 13 we saw this way of pound.

The aim of this series of studies is to help students to have a graphical view of organic synthesis reactions of diverse nature. Here we discuss, from a mechanistic stand point, some methods for the stereospecific synthesis of alkenes from 1,2-diols. One of the best ones utilizes as precursors, the cyclic thionocarbonates obtained from the diol with thiophosgene. We describe by mechanisms, the use of 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-diazophospholidine as an alternative for the decomposition of thionocarbonates into alkenes.
