Transesterification - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Bio Practice Exam 28 Questions with Verified Answers Why did DNA evolve to be the carrier of genetic information in cells as opposed to RNA? - CORRECT ANSWER the hydrogen at the 2' position in the deoxyribose of DNA makes it more stable than RNA In the mismatch repair process, enzyme complexes replace bases that were incorrectly inserted into the newly synthesized DNA strand. To function, they must be able to distinguish between the parent DNA strand and the new strand. How is this accomp...

All notes are taken from the textbook and summarized for easy learning. Pictures, diagrams, and synthesis reactions are made in great detail. These are the notes I used to get a 98 in the class.

The Claisen condensation produces which of these? a) An ∝-keto ester b) A β-keto ester c) A β-hydroxy ester d) A β-hydroxyaldehyde e) A β-diketone Answer: B Topic: General Information Section: 19.2 Difficulty Level: Easy 2) Cyclization reactions, such as the Dieckmann condensation, are best carried out using fairly dilute solutions of the compound to be cyclized. Why is this so? a) It then is possible to use less base. b) The reagents generally are expensive. c) A smaller amo...

This document contains in class notes on carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives from a college level organic chemistry class. These notes go in depth on how to name carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives, the order of reactivity of carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives, and numerous reactions of carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives (transesterification, Fischer's esterification, and hydrolysis to name a few).

This document provides a color-coded summary of strong nucleophilic addition and elimination reactions. Included in this document are written explanations and steps explaining these reactions.
