Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the statement that an amide cannot be prepared by acid-catalyzed condensation of amine and the carboxylic acid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as a substitution reaction.

In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving the group by attacking the electron-deficient carbon atom.

MeO 22.55 One potential synthesis of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug nabumetone is chloromethylation (Problem 22.48) of 2-methoxynaphthalene followed by an acetoacetic ester synthesis (Section 19.6). 5 3 6 CH₂O CI acetoacetic ester synthesis HC 7 MeO MeO 1 8 2-Methoxynaphthalene Nabumetone (a) Account for the regioselectivity of chloromethylation at carbon 6 rather than at carbon 5 or 7. (b) Show steps in the acetoacetic ester synthesis by which the synthesis of nabum- etone is completed.
22.47 Tertiary amines with three different alkyl groups are chiral but cannot be resolved because pyramidal inversion causes racemization at room temperature. Nevertheless, chiral aziridines can be resolved and stored at room temperature. Aziridine is a three-membered heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom. The following is an example of a chiral aziridine. In this compound, the nitrogen atom is a chiral center. Suggest a reason why chiral aziridines do not undergo racemization at room temperature.
