Video transcript

Hello, everyone. Today, we have the following problem provide the structure of the main organic product of the reaction shown below. So we have a phosphate group reacting with a nucleotide which is a pinto sugar bonded to an androgenous base, which is still in this case, which will form a nucleotide and water as a by-product in this condensation reaction. So the phosphate group will bind to carbon five of the pinto sugar such that our main organic product which will only include or which will not include the water as a by-product as water is not organic in nature as of the following. So the phosphate will always attach to carbon five of the sugar. And with that, we have solved the problem. Overall, I hope is helped. And until next time.
