Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Each double bond in lejimalide B is to be labeled as
Concept introduction: Stereochemistry is defined as the arrangement of molecule in three dimensional and its impact on
The use of prefix
(b)
Interpretation: Each tetrahedral stereogenic center in the given drug is to be labeled as
Concept introduction: Rules for assigning R and S configuration are as follows:
1. The groups are prioritized on the basis of their
2. If the atoms that are attached to the chiral centre are similar to each other, then the priority is given on the basis of the next atom attached.
3. The molecule is oriented in such a manner that the lowest priority group comes at the dashed wedge.
4. If the first three high priority groups are present in a clockwise manner then the molecule is assigned R configuration but if these are present in an anticlockwise manner then the molecule is assigned with S configuration.
(c)
Interpretation: The number of stereoisomers possible for lejimalide B is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: A compound exhibits number of stereoisomers when it contains more than one stereogenic centers. The maximum number of stereoisomers a compound with n number of stereogenic centers can show is

- Quinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. One step in the synthesis of quinapril involves reaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of the amino ester B. (a) What two products are formed in this reaction? (b) Given the structure of quinapril, which one of these two products is needed to synthesize the drug?arrow_forwardIbufenac, a para-disubstituted arene with the structureHO2CCH2C6H4CH2CH(CH3)2 , is a much more potent analgesic thanaspirin, but it was never sold commercially because it caused livertoxicity in some clinical trials.
