Chapter 17, Problem 17.69P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carboxylic acid and alcohol required to form methylparaben by Fischer esterification needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

When carboxylic acid (RCOOH) is treated with an alcohol (R'OH) in an acidic medium, an ester (RCOOR') formation can be observed. This process is known as the Fischer esterification.

In this esterification process, the OR' group of an alcohol replaces the OH group of the starting carboxylic acid.

General reaction is represented as follows:

2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all stereoisomers of this compound. HO OH
