Citrate synthase, one of the enzymes in the series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions known as the citric acid cycle (Section 24.9), catalyzes the synthesis of citric acid from oxaloacetic acid and acetyl-CoA. If the synthesis is carried out with acetyl-CoA that contains radioactive carbon (14C) in the indicated position (Section 1.1), the isomer shown here is obtained.
a. Which stereoisomer of citric acid is synthesized: Ror S?
b. If the acetyl-CoA used in the synthesis contains 12C instead of 14C, will the product of the reaction be chiral or achiral?
a.Which of the following compounds can exist as cis-trans isomers?
b. For those compounds that can exist as cis and trans isomers, draw and label the isomers.
1 CH3CH = CHCH2CH2CH3
2 CH3CH2 C = CHCH3
|
CH2CH3
3.CH3CH = CHCH3
4. CH3CH2CH=CH2
Draw the Z isomer of an alkene that has a CH3and an H on one sp2carbon and isopropyl and butyl groups on the othersp2carbon.
(S)- (+)-Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavour enhancer used in many foods. Some people have an allergic reaction to MSG (including headache, chest pains, and an overall feeling of weakness). Fast food often contains substantial amounts of MSG, which is widely used in Chinese food as well. (S)-(+)-MSG has a specific rotation of +24.

a. What is the specific rotation of (R)- (-)-monosodium glutamate?
b. What is the specific rotation of a racemic mixture of MSG?
Draw a perspective formula for each of the following:
a. (S)-2-chlorobutane
b. (R)-1,2-dibromobutane
