1. Who received the Noble Prize for the discovery of the Wittig reaction? 2. The Wittig reaction usually gives a mixture of cis and trans isomers, yet in this reaction, only the trans isomer is formed. The stereochemistry of product is set in the first step of the reaction of the ylid with the aldehyde. Draw the intermediate oxaphosphetane that leads to the trans-alkene geometry, and the one that would lead to the cis - alkene geometry, showing the stereochemistry...

chem lab: Solvent Free Wittig Reaction Lab Wittig reaction= reaction of a phosphonium ylide with an adehyde or ketone to make a new alkene A.) Another isomer of the product is formed to a small extent. Draw the structure. Why might we expect this product to be formed in only small amounts? B.) Give a sequence of reactions showing how the ylide used in the lab could be synthesized from triphenylphosphine

1. What type of reaction links two amino acids into a dipeptide? 2. What functional groups are found in the peptide backbone? 3. Would a peptide in solution be vulnerable to cleavage by addition of a strong base to the solution? 4. Where does the R group or side chain connect to the backbone of an amino acid? 5. Are polypeptides linear or branched polymers? 6. Where are hydrophobic side chains generally found in a globular protein? 7. Where are...
