Chemistry / How do I identify this molecule we've made?
« on: 09/12/2019 10:35:10 »
So I am in organic chemistry 2. Basically we synthesized an unknown dipwprice using EDCI HCL. We were assigned two amino acids, one a boc protected amino acid where the r side chain be one of the 20 amino acids and an amino acid methyl ester hydrochloride where the Rain side chain can once again be one of the 20 possibilities. Based on my spectra I can see I have an aromatic present and two methyls. In terms of aromatic I strongly believe I have phenylalanine present and in terms of the other amino acid there are only three that have two methyls and they are valine, leucine, and iso leucine and of those I believe it is valine. Just wanted to know what you guys think about what I believe it is and if it’s correct. Thanks a ton for reading my long post.
