- 17-54 Following is the structure of immunosuppressant FK-506, a molecule shown to disrupt calcineurin-mediated signal transduction in T-lymphocytes. (a) There are three carbon—carbon double bonds present in this molecule. Which of the three has the potential for cis/trans isomerism? Assign a cis or trans con?guration to each carbon-carbon double bond that has this possibility. (b) How many stereocenters are present in this molecule? How many stereoisomers are possible for it? (c) Are there any aromatic components in this molecule? (d) Consider the two carbon atoms marked with asterisks. Assign an R or S con?guration of each stereocenter. (e) Because of the presence of a 21-member ring, this molecule is described as a macrocycle. This ring is fashioned by three types of bonds, several carbon-carbon bonds, one ester, one hemiacetal, and one amide. Locate the ester and the hemiacetal. (f) Draw the structural formula of the long chain compound that would result if the hemiacetal were to be cleaved to an alcohol and a carbonyl group.arrow_forward13-27 Define autoxidation.arrow_forward15-11 In what way are constitutional isomers different from stereoisomers?

- 16-54 Several poisonous plants, including Atropa belladonna, contain the alkaloid atropine. The name “belladonna” (which means “beautiful lady”) probably comes from the fact that Roman women used extracts from this plant to make themselves more attractive. Atropine is widely used by ophthal mologists and optometrists to dilate the pupils for eye examination. Classify the amino group in atropine as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Locate all stereocenters in atropine. Account for the fact that atropine is almost insoluble in water (1 g in 455 mL of cold water) but atropine hydrogen sulfate is very soluble (1 g in 5 mL of cold water). Account for the fact that a dilute aqueous solution of atropine is basic (pH approximately 10.0).arrow_forward15-8 What does the term “chiral” mean?

Identify and label the various functional groups present. Consider the two stereocenters in this structure labeled with asterisks (*). Determine the absolute configuration of each stereocenter. FK-506 has been shown to exhibit moderate solubility in various organic solvents. Is this immunosuppressant expected to be soluble in ethanol (CH3CH2OH)? Consider the carbon atom labeled “1." Describe the geometry and approximate bond angles about this carbon atom. Draw the alternative chair conformations of the cyclohexane ring at the lower right of FK-506 and label the more stable conformation. Are there any aromatic components present in FK-506? Patients taking FK-506 have reported several side effects from this medication, including headaches, nausea or diarrhea, and slight shaking.
