S-2-iodooctane lost his opticaly activity in soln on tratment wwithNaI. Explain

Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture

Explanation:

S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.

However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.

polar

Explanation:

because carbon and sulfur have different electronegativities, the S=C bond is polar.

The entire molecule is nonpolar however because the dipoles (polar bonds) cancel out due to the geometry of the molecule (linear)

Explain transmethylation reaction of amino acids.
tester [92]

Answer:Transamination, a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids. This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesized de novo by the organism).
