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_forwardEnalapril, a drug used to treat hypertension, is prepared from compounds D and E by reductive amination.

However, it had many adverse side effects, including cyanosis as a result of methemoglobinemia. The toxic side effects were the result of a small portion of acetanilide being hydrolyzed to aniline. Acetanilide was discontinued and replaced with phenacetin. Later studies show that both acetanilide and phenacetin are metabolized to acetaminophen. This metabolite, which we know as Tylenol, is responsible for the analgesic and antipyretic properties.
