Threonine

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The structure of Threonine is $CH_3-CH(OH)-CH(NH_2)-COOH$. In this structure,the carbon atom attached to the $-NH_2$ group is chiral because it is bonded to four different groups: $-H$,$-NH_2$,$-COOH$,and the $-CH(OH)CH_3$ group. The carbon atom attached to the $-OH$ group is also chiral because it is bonded to four different groups: $-H$,$-OH$,$-CH_3$,and the $-CH(NH_2)COOH$ group. Therefore,Threonine has $2$ chiral centres.
