The problem below is directed toward devising a hypothetical pathway for the synthesis of the acyclic central portion of Crixivan (Merck and Company’s HIV protease inhibitor). Note that your synthesis might not adequately control the stereochemistry during each step, but for this particular exercise chat is not expected.
Fill in missing compounds and reagents in the following outline of a hypothetical synthesis of the acyclic central portion of Crixivan. Note that more than one intermediate compound may be involved between some of the structures shown below.

If a proposed EAS reaction gives multiple regioisomers, draw them all and indicate which will be used in subsequent reactions. ZONarrow_forward1. Bicyclic keto compounds such as camphor react predictably with nucleophiles according to steric influences; this effect has been termed steric approach control. In contrast, the reaction of nucleophiles with simple acyclic and monocyclic keto compounds are influenced primarily by thermodynamic factors; this effect has been termed product development control. Given the following reaction, predict the identity of the major product and provide a rationale for your selection. ОН NABH4 t-Bu. t-Bu t-Bu. ELOH 1 2arrow_forward
- Treatment of a cyclic ketone with diazomethane is a method for accomplishing a ring-expansion reaction. The reaction involves the initial nucleophilic attack by diazomethane on the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Collapse of this intermediate is accompanied by bond migration and loss of N,. For example, treatment of cyclohexanone with diazomethane yields cycloheptanone. CH2N2, ether + N2 Draw the structure of the organic product(s) of the ring expansion of this compound: • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer.
