a) What's the target of this anticancer drug? Briefly describe its mechanism of action.
Non-conjugated β,γ-unsaturated ketones, such as 3-cyclohexenone, as in acid-catalysed equilibrium with their α,β-unsaturated isomers. The mechanism has several intermediates.
Draw the structure of the second reaction intermediate in the conversion of 3-cyclohexenone to 2-cyclohexenone. This intermediate is a neutral compound.
Diazepam, better known as Valium, is a central nervous system (CNS) sedative/ hypnotic. As a sedative, it diminishes activity and excitement and thereby has a calming effect. Back in 1976, based on the number of new and refilled prescriptions processed, diazepam was the most prescribed drug in the United States. Following is a retrosynthetic analysis for a synthesis of diazepam. Note that the formation of compound B involves a Friedel-Crafts acylation. In this reaction, it is necessary to protect the 2° amine by prior treatment with acetic anhydride. The acetyl-protecting group is then removed by treatment with aqueous NaOH followed by careful acidification with HCl.
Q.Given this retrosynthetic analysis, propose a synthesis for diazepam

- A newer generation of antipsychotics, among them clozapine, are now used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia. These drugs are more effective than earlier drugs in improving patient response in the areas of social withdrawal, apathy, memory, comprehension, and judgment. They also produce fewer side effects such as seizures and tardive dyskinesia (involuntary body movements).

- Verapamil, a coronary artery vasodilator, is used in the treatment of angina caused by insufficient blood flow to cardiac muscle. Even though its effect on coronary vasculature tone was recognized over 30 years ago, only recently has its role as a calcium channel blocker become understood. Following is a retrosynthetic analysis leading to a convergent synthesis; it is convergent because (A) and (B) are made separately and then combined (i.e., the route converges) to give the final product. Convergent syntheses are generally much more efficient than those in which the skeleton is built up stepwise. Q. Two steps are required to convert (D) to (C).

H HO: :Nuc Nuc Weak nucleophiles such as water and alcohols can react with the protonated epoxide. One of the main differences between base-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed epoxide ring openings is the regiochemical product expected. In an acid-catalyzed reaction, if one of the epoxide carbons is tertiary and the other primary, the nucleophile will attack at the more substituted carbon. If the epoxide is monosubstituted, the nucleophile will attack preferentially at the primary carbon vs. the secondary carbon. Which reaction will not give the indicated product? N 1. CH,CH,O 2.
