Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures of ethinamate and intermediates
Concept Introduction:
Ethinamate is a carbamate derivative, which is used to treat insomnia. They are sedative hypnotic drugs.
Ethinamate are carbamate esters, their depressant effects are slower than other sedative drugs like barbiturates.

A key step in the synthesis of the narcotic analgesic meperidine (trade name Demerol) is the conversion of phenylacetonitrile to X. (a) What is the structure of X? (b) What reactions convert X to meperidine?
y-Butyrolactone (C4H6O2, GBL) is a biologically inactive compound that is converted to the biologically active recreational drug GHB (Section 19.5) by a lactonase enzyme in the body. Since y-butyrolactone is more fat soluble than GHB, it is more readily absorbed by tissues and thus produces a faster onset of physiological symptoms. y-Butyrolactone shows an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following 1H NMR spectral data: 2.28 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.48 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.35 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of y-butyrolactone?
A compound has the molecular formula C6H12O2. Its IR spectrum shows a strong absorption band near 1740 cm-1. Its 1H NMR spectrum consists of two singlets at δ 1.2 and δ 3.6. Which is the most likely structure of the compound?
