(a)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of Esmolol has to be shown from 1-naphthol.
Concept introduction:
Esterification: Esterification reaction is the reaction of acid react with excess of alcohol in the presence of either acid or base catalyst to forms an ester.
Hydrogenation:
Palladium on carbon (Pd/C) is used as a catalyst for hydrogenation of
(b)
Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomer’s has to be shown if the product is chiral.
Concept introduction:
Chiral:
A molecule is non superimposable on its mirror image is called chiral molecule. Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom is called chiral molecule.
Isomer: A molecule having the same molecular formula but with different chemical structure is called isomer.
Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called diastereomers.
Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer.

- Following is a synthesis for toremifene, a nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist whose structure is closely related to that of tamoxifen. (a) This synthesis makes use of two blocking groups, the benzyl (Bn) group and the tetrahydropyranyl (THP) group. Draw a structural formula of each group and describe the experimental conditions under which it is attached and removed. (b) Discuss the chemical logic behind the use of each blocking group in this synthesis. (c) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of D to E. (d) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of F to toremifene. (e) Is toremifene chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardOne frequently used method for preparing methyl esters is by reaction of carboxylic acids with diazomethane, CH2N2. The reaction occurs in two steps: (l) protonation of diazomethane by the carboxylic acid to yield methyldiazonium ion, CH3N2+, plus a carboxylate ion; and (2) reaction of the carboxylate ion with CH3N2+. (a) Draw two resonance structures of diazomethane, and account for step 1. (b) What kind of reaction occurs in step 2?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the products of the following reactions Aniline + BSC, excess NaOH (DRAW STRUCTURE) + HCl (DRAW STRUCTURE) Diethylamine + BSC, excess NaOH (DRAW STRUCTURE) + HCl (DRAW STRUCTURE) Triethylamine + BSC, excess NaOH (DRAW STRUCTURE) + HCl (DRAW STRUCTURE)arrow_forward
- The hydrolysis of the ester shown here is catalyzed by morpholine. Explain how morpholine catalyzes the reaction. (Hint: The pKa of the conjugateacid of morpholine is 9.3, so morpholine is too weak a base to function as a base catalyst.)arrow_forwardThe following compound has been found to be an inhibitor of penicillinase. The enzyme can be reactivated by hydroxylamine (NH2OH). Propose a mechanism to account for the inhibition and for the reactivation.arrow_forwardPropose a synthesis for esmolol from 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, epichlorohydrin, and isopropylaminearrow_forward
- Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.arrow_forwardCan pyridine form a diazonium salt and can quinoline and isoquinoline undergo electrophilic substitution on the benzenoid ring but nucleophilic substitution on the nitrogen ring?arrow_forwardCan any functional groups on Risperidone ionize? If so, which ones? Under what conditions? What are the pKa values of these functional groups? Write the structures in their correct ionization state at physiological pH.arrow_forward
- Phenacetin is an analgesic compound having molecular formula C10H13NO2. Once a common component in over-the-counter pain relievers such as APC (aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine), phenacetin is no longer used because of its liver toxicity. Deduce the structure of phenacetin from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forwardDetermining if a Base Is Strong Enough to Deprotonate an Acid Which of the following bases is strong enough to deprotonate N,Ndimethylacetamide [CH3CON(CH3)2, pKa = 30], so that equilibrium favors the products:(a)NaNH2; (b) NaOH?arrow_forwardA variation of the acetamidomalonate synthesis can be used to synthesize threonine. The process involves the following steps: Ethoxide ion deprotonates diethyl acetamidomalonate, forming enolate anion 1; Enolate anion 1 makes a nucleophilic attack on acetaldehyde, forming tetrahedral intermediate 2; Protonation of the oxyanion forms alcohol 3; Acid hydrolysis yields dicarboxyamino alcohol 4; Decarboxylation leads to the final amino acid. Write out the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper, and then draw the structure of enolate anion 1.arrow_forward
