Discovery of the antibiotic sulphanilamide led to rapid development of a large number of structurally related sulphonamides. Some of these were useful leads to compounds with other medicinal properties. Amongst these, sulfasalazine was active in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, a potentially fatal disease of the colon. As a medicinal chemist, you are about to carry out the synthesis of sulfasalazine, starting from aniline. Give the chemical names and draw the chemical structures of the reagents you will need to use for the all the steps marked (a)-(d). Aniline HO₂C HO (a) NIN- A CHN- Ac represents CH3CO Sulfasalazine S0,C1 SO,NH (b) (d) H₂N- SO,NH N (c) N pomol SO,NH Step (a) in question 5 above results in the para product only. Explain why this occurs.

You are given a mixture of benzoic acid, 2-naphthol and 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and you are asked to separate the mixture into its following compounds. You are limited to using dichloromethane, pentane, cyclohexane and ethyl acetate as organic solvents. This doesn't involve solvents used to convert the 3 compounds to ionic salts. Suggest possible organic solvents and explain a procedure you would carry out to separate the 3 mixtures briefly.
The compound acetophenone has a very similar molar mass to that of benzoic acid and benzamide. However, acetophenone has a much lower m.p. (20 °C) than both such that, by contrast, it is a liquid at room temperature. By considering intermolecular forces and comparing functional group structure, account for this big difference in physical properties.
The sex attractant of the housefly has the formula C23H46. When treated with warm potassium permanganate, this pheromone gives two products: CH3(CH2)12COOH and CH3(CH2)7COOH. Suggest a structure for this sex attractant. Explainwhich part of the structure is uncertain
Isoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is an acetylic fatty acid that turns a vivid blue on exposure to UV light. On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16CO2H, is produced. Ozonolysis of isoerythrogenic acid yields the following products: formaldehyde, CH2O, malonic acid, HO2CCH2CO2H, adipic acid, HO2C(CH2)4CO2H, and the aldehyde carboxylic acid, OHC(CH2)6CO2H. Provide a structure for isoerythrogenic acid.
