(a) Simple aminoacetals hydrolyze quickly and easily in dilute acid. Propose a mechanism for hydrolysis of the following aminoacetal:
(b) The nucleosides that make up DNA have heterocyclic rings linked to deoxyribose by an aminoacetal functional group. Point out the aminoacetal linkages in deoxycytidine and deoxyadenosine.
(c) The stability of our genetic code depends on the stability of DNA. We are fortunate that the aminoacetal linkages of DNA are not easily cleaved. Show why your mechanism for part (a) does not work so well with deoxycytidine and deoxyadenosine.
