Concept introduction:
The steps involved in the synthesis of leucine by acetamidomalonate method are i) Conversion of the diethyl acetamidomalonate to an enolate ion by treatment with a base ii) SN2 alkylation with a primary alkyl halide iii) Hydrolysis of the amide protecting group and ester groups by warming the alkylated product with aqueous acids.
The reaction can also be carried out using formaldehyde instead of an alkyl halide.
To give:

- A chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors.

- The addition of a nucleophilic group like a thiol (-SH), or an unprotonated amino group (-NH₂) to an a,ß-unsaturated ketone is important for understanding how NAPQI reacts with glutathione, N-acetylcysteine, or protein amino acid side chains containing -SH or -NH2 groups. 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.
