Identify the pair of reactants that upon reaction, with elimination of HCl will give rise to the dipeptide Gly-Ala.

  1. NH2-CH2-COOH and NH2- CH3 |CH-COOH
  2. NH2-CH2-COCl and NH3- CH3 |CH-COCl
  3. NH2-CH2-COCl and NH2- CH3 |CH-COOH
  4. NH2-CH2-COOH and NH2- CH3 |CH-COCl

Answer

(3) NH2-CH2-COCl and NH2- CH3 |CH-COOH

Solution

In the dipeptide Gly-Ala, the –CO– of glycine is joined to the –NH– of alanine (N-terminal residue written first):

NH2-CH2-CO-NH- CH3 |CH-COOH

To form this amide bond with loss of HCl, glycine must react as its acid chloride and alanine through its free -NH2 group:

NH2-CH2-COCl + NH2- CH3 |CH-COOH

NH2-CH2-CO-NH- CH3 |CH-COOH + HCl

(A) would need loss of water, not HCl. (D) loses HCl but joins the –CO– of alanine to the –NH– of glycine, giving Ala-Gly. In (B) the - NH3 group has no lone pair to attack.
