Question
Chapter 26.SE, Problem 26MP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
During peptide synthesis fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl amide (Fmoc) derivatives are used to protect the
Concept introduction:
The Fmoc derivative is used to protect the amine group of amino acid during peptide formation. But it is important to remove the Fmoc derivative after peptide synthesis. This process is carried out using treatment with an aqueous base. Often amine base piperidine is used.
To determine:
The mechanism of removal of Fmoc derivative from amine group using the amine base piperidine.

In this problem we will add mercaptoethanol to p-benzoquinone. p-Benzoquinone will be a simple model of NAPQI. +H H a single uncharged addition product This reaction will proceed in steps. First the H-S-R will add to the unsaturated ketone to give a charged addition product. Next, a simple proton transfer will form an uncharged adduct in which the 6-membered ring contains one carbonyl and a second enolic hydroxyl. The keto form next will tautomerize to its more stable enol form, and in doing so the 6-membered ring becomes aromatic with 6-π electrons.
