Solved: (a) An aliphatic aminoglycoside is relatively stable to base, but it is quickly

Chapter 0, Problem 23-50

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) An aliphatic aminoglycoside is relatively stable to base, but it is quickly hydrolyzed by dilute acid. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. (b) Ribonucleosides are not so easily hydrolyzed, requiring relatively strong acid. Using your mechanism for part (a), show why cytidine and adenosine (for example) are not so readily hydrolyzed. Explain why this stability is important for living organisms.
