Select all products formed on complete acid hydrolysis of the compound shown.

AGlycine
BAspartic acid
CMethanol
DPhenylalanine

Answer: B, C, D

The compound shown is aspartame. The methyl ester gives methanol and the amide (peptide) bond gives aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Glycine is not formed since no glycine residue is present. In acid the amino acids appear as their ammonium salts.
