Stereoisomers and chiral:
Isomers differing only in their spatial arrangement of atoms are called as stereoisomers.
The geometric property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image is known as chirality. Chiral carbon is the one which is attached with four different groups or atoms.

- Compound I (C11H14O2) is insoluble in water, aqueous acid, and aqueous NaHCO3, but dissolves readily in 10% Na2CO3 and 10% NaOH. When these alkaline solutions are acidified with 10% HCl, compound I is recovered unchanged. Given this information and its 1H-NMR spectrum, deduce the structure of compound I.arrow_forwardFollowing 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_forwardPropranolol binds to beta-adrenergic receptors with a Kj of 8.9 x 10-9M. What concentration of propranolol would be required to achieve a 50% reduction in the binding of the receptor agonist isoproterenol if the agonist concentration is 10ONM and its dissociation constant for the receptor is 4.8 x 10-8 M?arrow_forward
- Treating trimethylamine with 2-chloroethyl acetate gives acetylcholine as its chloride. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. Me;N + CH,COCH,CH,CI C,H1,CINO, Acetylcholine chloride Propose a structural formula for this quaternary ammonium salt and a mechanism for its formation.arrow_forwardThe 1H-NMR spectrum of Compound C shows five signals – δ 2.38 (1H, dt), 2.72 (1H, dt), 5.34 (1H, t), 5.49 (2H, ddd), 6.27 (2H, dd) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has four signals – δ 26, 58, 127, 129 ppm. In the compound’s mass spectrum, the M+1 peak appears at m/z = 115.
