Concept explainers
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.

- Present a plausible synthesis of the following transformation below. Explainarrow_forwardTerreic acid, shown below, is a naturally occurring antibiotic metabolite of the fungus Aspergillus terreus. Terreic acid hinders bacterial growth by covalently binding to (and thereby deactivating) the biosynthetic enzyme MurA, which is responsible for synthesizing the bacterial cell wall. In aqueous environments, terreic acid tautomerizes to a more stable enol form. Draw the two most stable enol tautomers of terric acid. Circle the tautomer above that you would expect to predominate inside a cellular environment.arrow_forwardGive clear handwritten answer with explanation needed..please explainarrow_forward
