(1) Aryl azide is an excellent photo-crosslinker (reacting to form covalent bonds with other molecules when activated by ultraviolet light) to label protein of interest. In the following reaction, 0.5g of 4-amino-L-phenylalanine was reacted in 1:2 mixture of 10ml 37.5% (w/w) HCl solution and 20ml water to obtain 4-azido-L-phenylalanine. (16 marks) OH NH HN Figure 1.

(c) After distillation, 95% of the solvent was removed, 100ml of acetonitrile (ACN, a common laboratory used intermediate polarity, aprotic solvent, water miscible solvent) was added to the reaction mixture. State the Observation and explain why it happen. (5 marks) (d) It is known that higher acidity speeds up the reaction from aryl amine to aryl azide, 25ml of 37.5% (w/w) HCl was used instead of 10 ml in part (a), determine the final distillate and final residue again to remove 95% of solvent in above reaction using the Txy diagram from part (b).
