a 9. (2 points) In May 2020, an HIV antiretroviral drug was studied as a treatment for COVID-19. The drug tested is a protease inhibitor, whose structure mimics the transition state of a peptide. In peptide synthesis, an amino acid is often protected to prevent side reactions. The reaction below is the first step of the synthesis of the antiretroviral drug. "Bn" stands for a "benzyl” protecting group, which doesn't affect the reaction. Draw the structure of the major organic coupling product formed. Bn H OHH Bn DCC + NH HO Bn "NH2 Hy H Bn
