Following is a retrosynthetic analysis for the synthesis of the herbicide (S)-Metolachlor from 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline, chloroacetic acid, acetone, and methanol. Show reagents and experimental conditions for the synthesis of Metolachlor from these four organic starting materials. Your synthesis will most likely give a racemic mixture. The chiral catalyst used by Novartis for reduction in Step 2 gives 80% enantiomeric excess of the S enantiomer.
Following is a retrosynthetic analysis for an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of vitamin A. (a) Addition of one mole of HCl to isoprene gives 4-chloro-2-methyl-2-butene as the major product. Propose a mechanism for this addition and account for its regioselectivity. (b) Propose a synthesis of the vitamin A precursor from this allylic chloride and ethyl acetoacetate.
Several sulfonylureas, a class of compounds containing RSO2NHCONHR, are useful drugs as orally active replacements for injected insulin in patients with adult-onset diabetes. These drugs decrease blood glucose concentrations by stimulating b cells of the pancreas to release insulin and by increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors in peripheral tissues to insulin stimulation. Tolbutamide is synthesized by the reaction of the sodium salt of p-toluenesulfonamide and ethyl N-butylcarbamate . Propose a mechanism for this step.
When CO2 is bubbled through a solution of benzyl magnesium bromide, and the mixture is then acidified, the product is phenylacetic acid. Any unreacted benzyl magnesium bromide is converted to toluene in the acidification step. 1. Write the complete reaction sequence for the process, showing product and byproduct. 2. How could you separate phenylacetic acid from toluene?
Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of HOCH2CH2C(CH3)2CN forms compound A (C6H10O2). A shows a strong peak in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following signals in its 1H NMR spectrum: 1.27 (singlet, 6 H), 2.12 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.26 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. Draw the structure for A and give a stepwise mechanism that accounts for its formation.
