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.

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). The first is treatment of (D) with ethyl chloroformate. What is the product of this first step? What reagent can be used to convert this product to (C)?arrow_forwardVerapamil, a coronary artery vasodilator, is used in the treatment of angina caused by insufficient blood flow to cardiac muscle.

- Consider the tetracyclic aromatic compound drawn below, with rings labeled as A, B, C, and D. (a) Which of the four rings is most reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution? (b) Which of the four rings is least reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution? (c) What are the major product(s) formed when this compound is treated with one equivalent of Br2?arrow_forwardTreatment 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. They will not be considered in the grading. • Draw one structure per sketcher Add additional ketchers usina the dron down menu in the bottom right co Previous Nextarrow_forwardDuring clinical trials it was discovered that smokers, after one to two weeks on the drug, reported that their craving for tobacco had lessened. Further sudies confirmed this finding and the drug is now marketed under the name Zyban as an aid in smoking cessation. Propose a synthesis of bupropion from benzene.
