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

hoxide ion deprotonates diethyl acetamidomalonate, forming enolate anion 1; Enolate anion 1 makes a nucleophilic attack on acetaldehyde, 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 tetrahedral intermediate 2.

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

For this reaction, we have the production of a carbanion as the first step. The base "ethoxide" can remove a hydrogen-producing a negative charge in the carbon (<u>enolate anion 1</u>). Then this negative charge can attack the carbon of the carbonyl group in the molecule acetaldehyde and the <u>tetrahedral intermediate 2</u> is form. In the next step, we have the protonation of the oxygen to produce <u>alcohol 3</u>. A continuation we have the hydrolysis of the ester groups to produce the <u>Dicarboxyamino alcohol</u> and finally, we have a decarboxylation reaction we will produce the amino acid <u>Threonine</u>.

To further explanations see figure 1

I hope it helps!

Dr. Terror has developed a new alloy called Ultranomium. He is testing a bar that is 1.25 m1.25 m long and has a mass of 382 g.3
MrRissso [65]

Answer:0.8742j/g°C

Explanation: SOLUTION

GIVEN

length of bar=1.25m

mass 382g

temperature= 20°C to 288°C

Q=89300J

Specific Heat Capacity  will be calculated using

Q=mC∆T

where

C = specific heat capacity

Q = heat

m = mass

Δ T = change in temperature

C=Q/ m∆T

=89300/382X(288-20.6)

=0.8742j/g°C

Choose ALL TRUE statements about calorimetry from the choices below:
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

True statment

2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter

3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter

Explanation:

The calorimeter is one which is insulated that is which will not absorb or let the heat to escape from it. the calorimeter is used to measure the heat change during a process so if it will allow to exchange heat with surrounding it will deviate the readings or observence.

Copper is a good conductor of heat so we cannot use it make a calorimeter.

Hence

1) Copper would make a good calorimeter : False

2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter: True

Styrofoam is a bad conductor or insulator so it can be and it is used for calorimeter.

3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter : True

4) A good calorimeter should easily absorb heat : false

Answer:

Multiply 1.25 by 0.04 and divide the result obtained by 1,000

Explanation:

Since there is .04 oz in 1 gram, we take the 1.25 gram and multiply by .04.

Next, to convert per liter to per milliliter, we divide by 1,000.
