The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the compound formed when the amino group of glycine and the carboxylic acid group of alanine undergo a condensation reaction, resulting in the elimination of a water molecule. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Amino Acids**: - Glycine (NH2-CH2-COOH) - Alanine (NH2-CH(CH3)-COOH) 2. **Identify the Functional Groups**: - Glycine has an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). - Alanine has an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). 3. **Reaction Setup**: - The amino group of glycine will react with the carboxylic acid group of alanine. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{NH}_2\text{-CH}_2\text{-COOH} + \text{NH}_2\text{-CH(CH}_3\text{)-COOH} \rightarrow \text{(NH}_2\text{-CH}_2\text{-CO-NH-CH(CH}_3\text{)-COOH)} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] 4. **Elimination of Water**: - During the reaction, a water molecule (H2O) is eliminated. This occurs between the amino group of glycine and the carboxylic acid group of alanine. 5. **Formation of Peptide Linkage**: - The remaining parts of the amino acids bond together, forming a peptide bond (or linkage). The structure now has a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to the nitrogen (N) from the amino group, which is characteristic of a peptide bond. 6. **Naming the Compound**: - The compound formed is a dipeptide because it consists of two amino acids. - The naming convention for peptides is to start from the N-terminal (the end with the amino group) to the C-terminal (the end with the carboxylic acid group). - The first amino acid (alanine) is modified to "alanil" (removing the "-ine" and adding "-yl"). - The second amino acid (glycine) retains its name. 7. **Final Name of the Compound**: - The complete name of the dipeptide formed is "Alanil Glycine". ### Conclusion: The name of the compound formed when the amino group of glycine and the carboxylic acid group of alanine undergo elimination of a water molecule is **Alanil Glycine**, which is also classified as a dipeptide.
