An acid “A” which is an important constituent of vinegar; on reaction with Red P & $$Br2$$ gives a monobromoderivative (B) which on reaction with $$NH3$$ gives white solid (C). However ethanal on reaction with a mixture of ammonium chloride and sodium cyanide undergoes Strecker synthesis to give a product which on acidic hydrolysis gives another high melting solid (D). If x & y are the total no. of optical isomers of (C) & (D) respectively. while Z is the total number of dipeptides that (C) and (D) can form, then what is the value of x−$$3y+2z$$?

Question

An acid “A” which is an important constituent of vinegar; on reaction with Red P & $$Br2$$ gives a monobromoderivative (B) which on reaction with $$NH3$$ gives white solid (C). However ethanal on reaction with a mixture of ammonium chloride and sodium cyanide undergoes Strecker synthesis to give a product which on acidic hydrolysis gives another high melting solid (D). If x & y are the total no. of optical isomers of (C) & (D) respectively. while Z is the total number of dipeptides that (C) and (D) can form, then what is the value of x−$$3y+2z$$?

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

x $$=$$ $$0$$  y $$=$$ $$2$$ z $$=$$ $$4$$.The amino acid is Glycine and Alanine
