Chapter 22, Problem 22.62P
A newer generation of antipsychotics, among them clozapine, are now used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia. These drugs are more effective than earlier drugs in improving patient response in the areas of social withdrawal, apathy, memory, comprehension, and judgment. They also produce fewer side effects such as seizures and tardive dyskinesia (involuntary body movements). In the following synthesis of clozapine, Step 1 is an Ullmann coupling, a type of nucleophilic
- (a) Show how you might bring about formation of the amide in Step 2.
- (b) Propose a reagent for Step 3.
- (c) Propose a mechanism for Step 4.
- (d) Is clozapine chiral? If so, how many of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?

Paroxetine (Paxil) is an antidepressant that is a member of a family of drugs known
as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIS). This family of drugs also includes
fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIS work by inhibiting the reuptake of
the neurotransmitter serotonin in the synapses of the central nervous system follow-
ing release of serotonin during excitation of individual nerve cells. Between firings, the
serotonin is taken back up by a nerve cell in preparation for firing again. Inhibition of
reuptake has the effect of increasing the time serotonin molecules remain in the syn-
apses following excitation, leading to a therapeutic effect. In one synthesis of parox-
etine, the following reagents are used. Draw the structures of synthetic intermediates A

Cromolyn sodium, developed in the 1960s, has been used to prevent allergic reactions primarily affecting the lungs, as, for example, exercise-induced emphysema. It is thought to block the release of histamine, which prevents the sequence of events leading to swelling, itching, and constriction of bronchial tubes. Cromolyn sodium is synthesized in the following series of steps. Treatment of one mole of epichlorohydrin with two moles of 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone in the presence of base gives I. Treatment of I with two moles of diethyl oxalate in the presence of sodium ethoxide gives a diester II. Saponification of the diester with aqueous NaOH gives cromolyn sodium.
Q. Is cromolyn sodium chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?
5 The compounds labeled benzophenone-3 (CH,O,) and benzophenone-5 (CHNAO,S) are found in certain sunscreens.
Would you expect a sunscreen made with benzophenone-3 or benzophenone-5 to be more waterproof? Explain your choice.
