Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The position of lactone group that forms the ring is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In the family of macrolide antibiotics, they all have large ring (macrocycle) and an ester is present that makes the ring. A cyclic ester is known as lactone.
Amphotericin B is used as an anti fungal infections treatment. Amphotericin B is the example of macrolide antibiotics. In amphotericin B, a cyclic ester is present.
(b)
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to fact that the type of
Concept introduction:
Amphotericin B is the example of macrolide antibiotics. In amphotericin B, a cyclic ester is present. Amphotericin B is used as an anti fungal infections treatment. In Amphotericin B, the other functional groups like hemiketal and glycosidic bond is also present.

- Show how acid derivatives hydrolyze to carboxylic acids under either acidic or basicconditions. Explain why some acid derivatives (amides, for example) require muchstronger conditions for hydrolysis than other derivatives.arrow_forwardKetones and aldehydes react with sodium acetylide (the sodium salt of acetylene) to give alcohols, as shown in the following example: R1 ОН 1. НС—с: Na* R2 R1 R2 2. Нзо" HC Draw the structure of the major reaction product when the following compound reacts with sodium acetylide, assuming that the reaction takes preferentially from the Si face of the carbonyl group. • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. CH3 CHarrow_forwardis this correct? Paracetamol consists of an aromatic ring to which a hydroxy group (-OH) is attached, forming a phenol. Attached to the aromatic ring is also an acetamide group, which consists of an acetyl group bound to a nitrogen atom.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is INCORRECT concerning the two acids below? Options: Acetic acid has higher water solubility than benzoic acid. Acetic acid has a higher melting point than benzoic acid. Benzoic acid has a larger conjugated system. Benzoic acid is the stronger acid. Acetic acid has an electron donating group in it's structure.arrow_forward(b) Answer the following questions based on the compounds below. Jawab soalan berikut berdasarkan kepada sebatian di bawah. CI CI A в (i) Which compound has the higher boiling point? Explain. Sebatian manakah mempunyai takat didih yang lebih tinggi? Terangkan. (ii) Draw the SN2 mechanism for the reaction of compound A with sodium hydroxide, NaOH. Lukis mekanisma Sn2 bagi tindak balas antara sebatian A dengan natrium hidroksida, NaOH.arrow_forwardCompare and explain the acidity of phenol, ethanol, acetic acid. (Using pKa, structures of conjugate base)arrow_forward
- Aniline (conjugate acid pKa 4.63) is a considerably stronger base than diphenylamine (pKa 0.79). Account for these marked differences.arrow_forward3. You are given a mixture of aspirin, phenol, and naphthalene that you need to separate. i) Draw the structures of each, and identify if they are acidic, basic, or neutral compounds. For each compound draw their reaction with the appropriate acidic or basic conditions that will change their solubility and allow them to be separated. ii) What modifications would you have to make to the experimental protocol in order to separate these three compounds? Provide specifics.arrow_forwardOrganic acids at physiological pH Pregabalin (Fig. 1), sold under the brand name Lyrica among others, is an anticonvulsant and anxi- olytic medication used to treat epilepsy, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, and generalized anxiety disorder. Pregabalin contains both an amino group and carboxylic acid group (gamma-amino acid). Each of these groups can be protonated or deprotonated, depending on the pH of the solution. Pregabalin is taken by mouth. NH2 H ОН Figure 1: Structure of pregabalin (Lyrica) • Draw the dominant structure of pregabalin upon ingestion (stomach pH 0) and calculate the relative amount (molar ratio) of protonated and deprotonated form Draw the dominant structure of pregabalin when it reaches the bloodstream (pH 7.40) and calculate the relative amount (molar ratio) of protonated and deprotonated formarrow_forward
- (a) Tsomane and Nyiko were given a task of synthesising methylenecyclohexane 2. After a brief discussion with each other, Tsomane proposed Method A to synthesise 2 from cyclohexanone 1 while Nyiko proposed Method B that started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. Each student believed that their proposed method is better than the other. (Scheme below) (1) Ph Ph 836 Ph THF A 1 B H₂SO4 100 °C 3 OH Which of the two methods (A or B) is more likely give high yield of methylenecyclohexane 2? Briefly explain.arrow_forwardSuppose you have a mixture of these three compounds. Devise a chemical procedure based on their relative acidity or basicity to separate and isolate each in pure form.arrow_forward2-cyanophenol (pka 7.0) is even more acidic than the 4-cyanophenol isomer. Propose an explanation of why it is so.arrow_forward
