A key step in the synthesis of β-vetivone, a major constituent of vetiver, a perennial grass found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, involved the reaction of compound A and dihalide B with two equivalents of LDA to form C. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction. β-Vetivone contains a spiro ring system—that is, two rings that share a single carbon atom.
Bromoetherification, the addition of the elements of Br and OR to adouble bond, is a common method for constructing rings containingoxygen atoms. This reaction has been used in the synthesis of thepolyether antibiotic monensin (Problem 18.34). Draw a stepwisemechanism for the following intramolecular bromoetherification reaction.
Fluorination of a benzene ring can be accomplished with Selectfluor, a reagent that contains a fluorine bonded to a positively charged nitrogen atom. Fluorination is a useful reaction because several common drugs, such as the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin, contain a fluorine bonded to an aromatic ring. Assuming that fluorination is analogous to other examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution, draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.
Devise a synthesis of each compound from aniline (C6H5NH2) as startingmaterial.
Heterocyclic compounds are present in naturally occurring substances and their syntheticcompounds are produced for various industrial applications. Furan is one such heterocycliccompound which is more reactive than benzene towards electrophilic aromatic substitutionreaction.1.Analyze the different substitution products formed in case of furan when it is reacted withiodine. Write the reaction mechanism involved when furan reacted with iodine andevaluate the formation of products.
Sulfur ylides, like the phosphorus ylides of Chapter 21, are useful intermediates in organic synthesis. Methyl trans-chrysanthemate, an intermediate in the synthesis of the insecticide pyrethrin I (Section 26.4), can be prepared from diene A and a sulfur ylide. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this reaction.
(−)-Hyoscyamine, an optically active drug used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, is isolated from Atropa belladonna, the deadly nightshade plant, by a basic aqueous extraction procedure. If too much base is used during isolation, optically inactive material is isolated. (a) Explain this result by drawing a stepwise mechanism. (b) Explain why littorine, an isomer isolated from the tailflower plant in Australia, can be obtained optically pure regardless of the amount of base used during isolation.
Identify A, B, and C, three intermediates in the synthesis of the pain reliever and anesthetic fentanyl.
