Question

NaOH, H_2O, heat NaOCH_3, HOCH_3 NaOCH_2CH_3, HOCH_2CH_3 Br_2, CH_3COOH Br_2, NaOH P2O5 P2S5 (CH_3)2CHBr (CH_3)2CHCH_2Br (CH_3)2CHCH_2CH_2Br NaNH_2, NH_3 NH_3 NH_2CH_3 NH(CH_3)2 NH4^+ CH_2O CH_3CHO CaO, Heat CaCO_3' heat K2CO_3 CH_3COCI H_3O^+ H_2O, H_2SO_4, heat HBr HNO_3 CHBr(COOCH_2CH_3)2 Using the letter codes for the given steps in order synthesize the target molecule from the given starting material. Some reagents may be used more than once, some may not be used. Please only put one letter per blank. First then reagent , then , then reagent and finally will give a modified (name of reaction) synthesis to form the amino acid. The name of the target amino acid is True or False the target amino acid is an essential amino acid? This synthesis will give the (S/R/racemic) product. In nature the common form of this amino-acid would have (S/R/racemic) stereochemistry

Explanation / Answer

Reagent 1- CHBr(COOCH2CH3)2

Reagent 2-NaOCH3, Methanol

Reagent 3- (CH3)2CHCH2Br

Reagent 4- NaOH water heat

Reagent 5-H3O+

The name of amino acid is Leucine

Leucine is an essential amino acid is True

This synthesis will give you recemic product, in nature the common amino acids would have S streriochemistry
