- Reaction of (CH3)3CH with Cl2 forms two products: (CH3)2CHCH2Cl (63%) and (CH3)3CCl (37%). Why is the major product formed by cleavage of the stronger 1° C–H bond?arrow_forwardОН HO "ОН Н ОН OH O,. ОН NH2 This is the molecule commonly known as Doxorubicin. Doxorubicin is used in chemotherapy to inhibit uncontrolled cell growth, a hallmark of cancerous cells. Doxorubicin specifically inhibits an enzyme called topoisomerase which helps remove supercoils in DNA as DNA is replicated during cell growth and division (mitosis). the following key to label the different Indicate the functional groups a part of Doxorubicin usi parts of the molecule (note not all functional groups listed may be a part of Doxorubicin): Carboxylic Acid label with a C Ketone label with a K Alcohol label with an A Ketal label with a T Aldehyde label with an H Ester label with an R Acetal label with an L Amine label with an M Amide label with a D Phenol label with a P Aromatic label with a B Ether label with an Earrow_forwardThe shrub ma huang (Section 5.4A) contains two biologically active stereoisomers—ephedrine and pseudoephedrine—with two stereogenic centers as shown in the given structure. Ephedrine is one component of a once-popular combination drug used by body builders to increase energy and alertness, whereas pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant. a.Draw the structure of naturally occurring (−)-ephedrine, which has the 1R,2S configuration. b.Draw the structure of naturally occurring (+)-pseudoephedrine, which has the 1S,2S configuration. c.How are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine related? d.Draw all other stereoisomers of (−)-ephedrine and (+)pseudoephedrine, and give the R,S designation for all stereogenic centers. e.How is each compound drawn in part (d) related to (−)-ephedrine?arrow_forward
- Draw all constitutional isomers with molecular formula C2H6S, and rank them in terms of increasing acidity. Draw the less acidic isomer as "Isomer 1", and the more acidic as "Isomer 2". Include lone pairs and formal charges.arrow_forwardPlease answer 6,7,8arrow_forward4-Methylphenol is more acidic than ethanol (pKa 10.36 vs 16.0) , even though both contain an OH group and a methyl group. Draw the structures of the anions formed from loss of the alcoholic protons from both compounds. Use resonance to explain the difference in their respective acidities.arrow_forward
- Draw all six ketone constitutional isomers of the formula C6H12O Follow the instructions and draw the five different possible arrangements of six carbon units. For parts A-C, draw only the six carbon atoms and Do Not draw the ketone. A:draw the structure containing six carbons in the longest parent chain. B: draw the two structures containing five carbons in the longest parent chain. C: Draw the two structures containing four carbons in the longest parent chain. D: Using the five structures from parts A,B,&C as a guide, draw the skeletal structures of the six constitutional isomers of C6H12O that are ketones.arrow_forwardAs mentioned in Problem 3-53, the statin drugs, such as simvastatin (Zocor), pravastatin (Pravachol), and atorvastatin (Lipitor) are the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. (a) Are the two indicated bonds on simvastatin cis or trans? (b) What are the cis/trans relationships among the three indicated bonds on pravastatin? (c) Why cant the three indicated bonds on atorvastatin be identified as cis or trans?arrow_forwardRank the following groups in order of decreasing priority. −COOH, −H, −NH2, −OHarrow_forward
- Draw and identity thr hybridized atoms (sp/sp2), draw reaonance structures/ polar bonds, and acidic hydrogens and basic positions for the compound Omeprazole.arrow_forwardXIX. Draw the ring flip for compound A and label compound B. Calculate and compare the energies of the two conformers (A and B respectively), knowing that a methyl-methyl gauche interaction is 3.8 kJ/mol, the H-CH3 diaxial interaction is 3.75 kJ/mol and the CH3 - CH3 diaxial interaction is 15 kJ/mol. Which isomer is more stable? 4 H3C 5 CH3 A 6 2 CH3 CH3 Barrow_forwardEistrogens are female sex hormones, the most potent of which is B-estradiol. OH H,C но B-Estradiol In recent years, chemists have focused on designing and synthesizing molecules that bind to estrogen receptors. One target of this research has been nonsteroidal estrogen antagonists, compounds that interact with estrogen receptors and block the effects of both endogenous and exogenous estrogens. A feature common to one type of nonste- roidal estrogen antagonist is the presence of a 1,2-diphenylethylene with one of the benzene rings bearing a dialkylaminoethoxyl substituent. The first nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist of this type to achieve clinical importance was tamoxifen, now an important drug in the treatment of breast cancer. Tamoxifen has the Z configuration shown here. но NMe, NMeg ? B NMeg ? "NMe, ОН Tamoxifen Propose reagents for the conversion of A to tamoxifen. Note: The final step in this synthesis gives a mixture of E and Z isomers.arrow_forward
