A variation of the acetamidomalonate synthesis can be used to synthesize serine. The process involves the following steps: Ethox

ide ion deprotonates diethyl acetamidomalonate, forming enolate anion 1; Enolate anion 1 makes a nucleophilic attack on formaldehyde, forming tetrahedral intermediate 2; Protonation of the oxyanion forms alcohol 3; Acid hydrolysis yields dicarboxyamino alcohol 4; Decarboxylation leads to the final amino acid. Write out the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper, and then draw the structure of dicarboxyamino alcohol 4.

Answer:

See detailed mechanism in the image attached

Explanation:

The mechanism shown in detail below is the synthesis of serine in steps.

The first step is the attack of the ethoxide ion base on the diethyl acetamidomalonate substrate giving the enolate and formaldehyde.

The second step is the protonation of the oxyanion from (1) above to form an alcohol as shown.

Acid hydrolysis of the alcohol formed in (3) above yields a tetrahedral intermediate, a dicarboxyamino alcohol.

Decarboxylation of this dicarboxyamino alcohol yields serine, the final product as shown in the image attached.

Part iv. Is the neutralization reaction enthalpy favored?
Burka [1]

Yes, it is a special case of enthalpy of neutralization.  

The enthalpy of neutralization (ΔHn) is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of an acid and one equivalent of a base undergo a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt.

The standard enthalpy change of neutralization is the enthalpy change when solutions of an acid and an alkali react together under standard conditions to produce 1 mole of water.

How many milliliters of .085 m naoh are required to titrate 25 ml of .072 m hbr to the equivalence point?
SOVA2 [1]
The ML  of 0.85  m NaOH    required   to  titrate  25 ml of  0.72m hbr  to  the  equivalence  point  is calculated  as  follows

calculate  the moles  of HBr used

moles  = molarity  x  volume

25  x0.072/1000=  0.0018 moles


write the  equation  for  reaction

NaOH + HBr = NaBr  +  H2O
from   reacting   equation the  mole ratio  between  NaOH  to  HBr  is  1:1  therefore  the  moles of  NaOH  =  0.0018 moles

volume   =  moles/molarity
0.0018/0.085 =  0.021  L  in Ml  =  0.021  x1000=21.18 Ml  ofNaOH

In today's experiment, Solutions A and B are prepared as follows.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

D. 0.160

Explanation:

The solution A is obtained adding 2.0mL of a solution of bromocresol green, 5.0mL of 1.60M HAc and 2.0mL of a solution of KCl. The solution is diluted to 50mL

That means the HAc is diluted from 5.0mL to 50.0mL, that is:

50.0mL / 5.0mL = 10 times.

And the final concentration of HAc must be:

1.60M / 10 times =

0.160M

Right answer is:

<h3>D. 0.160</h3>
