Q56 E
Question
Treatment of 5- aminopentanoic acid DCC(dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) yields a lactam. Show the structure of the product and the mechanism of the reaction.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The product lactam will get by several by-products from 5- aminopentanoic acid DCC
1Overall reaction to yield a lactam product
On reaction with 5- aminopentanoic acid DCC will get lactam product and Di phenyl dicarbametic as an addition product.
2Yield a lactam product from Protonated DCC
From the DCC and get protonated from amino acids.
3Yield a lactam product from lactam
By the process of nucleophilic attack by a nucleophile on the carbon and furthermore process the product lactam is produced.
4Yield a lactam product from lactam
And the process continues,
5Conclusion
Therefore, the product lactam will get from several by-products from 5- aminopentanoic acid DCC
