Concept explainers
Interpretation: All possible resonance structures for the antihistamine diphenhydramine are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures.
Answer to Problem 17.1P
All possible resonance structures for the antihistamine diphenhydramine are,
Explanation of Solution
The given structure of antihistamine diphenhydramine is shown below.
Figure 1
The given structure contains oxygen and nitrogen atoms and these atoms are not conjugated with any double bond. Thus, the lone pairs of these atoms do not participate in the resonance. Hence, possible resonance structures for the antihistamine diphenhydramine are shown below.
Figure 2
All possible resonance structures for the antihistamine diphenhydramine are shown in Figure 2.

- Enanthotoxin is an extremely poisonous organic compound found in hemlock water drop- wart, which is reputed to be the most poisonous plant in England. It is believed that no British plant has been responsible for more fatal accidents. The most poisonous part of the plant is the roots, which resemble small white carrots, giving the plant the name"five finger death."Also poisonous are its leaves, which look like parsley. Enanthotoxin is thought to interfere with the Nat current in nerve cells, which leads to convulsions and death. он How many stereoisomers are possible for enanthotoxin?arrow_forwardA carboxylic acid has two oxygen atoms, each with two nonbonding pairs of electrons.(a) Draw the resonance forms of a carboxylic acid that is protonated on the hydroxyoxygen atom.arrow_forwardGiven the following compounds Which amine is the least basic?

- Why is the amine N atom more nucleophilic than the amide N atom in CH,CONHCH,CH,CH,NHCH,?arrow_forwardThe amines are organic weak bases which are nitrogen-containing. In the early days of organic chemistry, basic amines derived from natural sources were known as “vegetable alkali”, but they are now referred to as alkaloids. The study of alkaloids provided much of the growth of organic chemistry, phytochemistry and natural products chemistry. It remains a fascinating area of research. Please search for one naturally occurring alkaloid and provide the following: Name of the alkaloid and show its structure.
