- Stanozolol is an anabolic steroid that promotes muscle growth. Althoughstanozolol has been used by athletes and body builders, many physicaland psychological problems result from prolonged use and it is bannedin competitive sports. Explain why the pKa of the N—H bond in the pyrazole ring iscomparable to the pKa of the O—H bond, making it considerably moreacidic than amines such as CH3NH2 (pKa = 40).arrow_forward(ii) Describe the key molecular structure features of the pharmacologically active 2- oxazolidinone group of antibacterial agents.arrow_forwardWhat happens when the codeine molecule (C18H21NO3) is exposed to air?

- Quinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. One step in the synthesis of quinapril involves reaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of the amino ester B. (a) What two products are formed in this reaction? (b) Given the structure of quinapril, which one of these two products is needed to synthesize the drug?arrow_forwardQuinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. One step in the synthesis of quinapril involves reaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of the amino ester B. (a) What two products are formed in this reaction?

One step in the synthesis of quinapril involves reaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of the amino ester B. (a) What two products are formed in this reaction? (b) Given the structure of quinapril, which one of these two products is needed tosynthesize the drug?arrow_forward(a) Draw the three isomers of benzenedicarboxylic acid.(b) The isomers have melting points of 210 °C, 343 °C, and 427 °C. Nitration of the isomers at all possible positions was once used to determine their structures. The isomer that melts at 210 °C gives two mononitro isomers. The isomer that melts at 343 °C gives three mononitro isomers. The isomer that melts at 427 °C gives only one mononitro isomer. Show which isomer has which melting point.arrow_forwardSome credit card sales slips have a top sheet of “carbonless paper” that transfers an imprint of a signature to a sheet lying underneath (the customer receipt). The paper contains tiny capsules filled with the following colorless compound. When you press on the paper, the capsules burst, and the colorless compound comes into contact with the acid-treated bottom sheet, forming a highly colored compound. What is the structure of the colored compound?arrow_forward
