New cards

esterification of amino acids

  • heated with alchols

  • presence of conc sulphuric acid

  • acidic conditions protonate the basic amine group on the ester

optical isomerism

  • found in molecules which contain a chiral centre

  • leads to two non-superimposable mirror image structures known as optical isomers
