Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Synthesis of sotalol from aniline has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
Nitration: In nitration reaction, one nitro group
Friedel-Crafts Acylation: This Lewis acid-catalyzed electrophilic
Reduction: If electrons are gained to a species or hydrogen atoms are added to a species or oxygen atom gets removed from a species during a
Bromination: In bromination reaction, hydrogen atom of a molecule is replaced by a bromine atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
Sotalol is whether chiral has to be identified and the possible stereoisomers of formed in the given reaction has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Chiral carbon: A carbon is said to be chiral carbon if it is bonded to four different substituents.
Stereoisomers: Two compounds with same molecular formula but different in their orientation are considered as isomers.
Enantiomers: Two molecules are considered as enantiomers if they are not superimposable mirror images with each other.
