Question

Whay is the product obtained when glycine hydrochloride reacts with two equivalents of `NaOH` ? Write the chemical reactions involved.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - `Cl^(Theta)H_(3)overset(oplus)(N)-underset(underset(underset("glycinehydrochloride")(O))(||))(CH_(2))-C-OH + underset("1st eqv.")(NaOH) rarr overset(oplus)(N)H_(2)CH_(2) overset(overset(O)(||))(C)O^(Theta)+H_(2)+NaCl`
`overset(oplus)(NH_(3))CH_(3) underset(underset(O)(||))(C)-O^(Theta)+ underset("2nd eqv.")(NaOH) rarr H_(2)N-CH_(2)-overset(overset(O)(||))(C)-O^(Theta) Na^(oplus)+H_(2)O`.
