Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of heroin is to be determined, which formed when morphine reacts with two moles of acetic anhydride.
Concept Introduction:
>Morphine is found naturally in a number of plants and animals. It acts directly on the central nervous system to decrease the feeling of pain. It can be taken for both acute pain and chronic pain.
>Alkaloids are a huge and complex group of cyclic compounds that contain N-atom. Morphine is an example of alkaloid.
>Acetic anhydride is an acetylating agent.
>The reaction of morphine with acetic anhydride as the acetylating agent leads to the formation of 3-acetylmorphine, which on further treatment with acetic anhydride, leads to the formation of heroin.
