Question

Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate serves as the starting point for the biosynthesis of numerous compunds of great importance , including cholestrol and the anti cancer drug tao. describe the first step in the reaction

Answer 1

Ou tof the following given choices;

a.       elimination

b.      SN2 substitution

c.       Dissociation

d.      None of the above

The answer is B. In SN2 substitution, the leaving group is attached to a primary carbon. This is one of the SN reaction of nucleophilic substitution on dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The other SN1 reaction, which is the more probable reaction because it's more stable.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

In the biosynthesis process of compounds of great importance, the first step for dimethylalkyl pyrophosphate is the nucleophilic substitution.

In the nucleophilic substitution, it happens that a nucleophilic group, which has electrons, replaces another group called electrophilic which lacks electrons.

Consequently, the nucleophilic group replaces the electrophilic group.
