Chapter 18, Problem 1LGP

β -Carotene is a highly conjugated hydrocarbon with an orange-red color. Its biosynthesis occurs via the isoprene pathway (Special Topic G in WileyPLUS), and it is found in, among other sources, pumpkins. One of the chemical syntheses of β -carotene was accomplished near the turn of the twentieth century by W. Ipatiew (Ber. 1901, 34, 594–596). The first few steps of this synthesis involve chemistry that should be familiar to you. Write mechanisms for all of the reactions from compounds 2 to 5, and from 8 to 9 and 10.

5. Consider the synthesis of 2-butanone from butyne: Hg2+ CH3CH,-C=C–H CH3CH, Ĉ -CH3 H3o* (i) Draw the structure of the compound D. (ii) Compound D isomerizes to form 2-butanone. What is this isomeric process called? (iii) Use the mechanism to show the conversion of compound D to 2-butanone.
Proteases are enzymes that can break covalent bonds in proteins. Proteases play major roles in the regulation of biological processes, so compounds that inhibit their function, called protease inhibitors, have potential as therapeutic agents. While preparing several potential protease inhibitors, compound 1 was converted into compound 3 via alkyne 2, as shown. (J. Org. Chem. 1989, 54, 3963- 3972) Draw the structure of alkyne 2, and propose reagents for converting 1 into 3. Step 1 Br Br Ph alle Br Br Edit Drawing OH Modify the given structure of 1 to draw alkyne 2. An eraser is available, and you can use the single bond tool to add/remove pi bonds. OH 2 Ph O ell (-10) Ph = 3 OH
