- Enamines normally react with methyl iodide to give two products: one arising from alkylation at nitrogen and the second arising from alkylation at carbon. For example, Heating the mixture of C-alkylation and N-alkylation products gives only the product from C-alkylation. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardAll rearrangements we have discussed so far have involved generation of an electron-deficient carbon followed by a 1,2-shift of an atom or a group of atoms from an adjacent atom to the electron-deficient carbon. Rearrangements by a 1,2-shift can also occur following the generation of an electron-deficient oxygen. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of cumene hydroperoxide to phenol and acetone.arrow_forwardA 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.

- A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.arrow_forward4) Aromatic compounds are among the most abundant and versatile in nature.
