Minoxidil is a molecule that causes hair growth in some people. It was originally synthesized as a vasodilator for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Most of the patients taking the drug for hypertension were seen to grow body hair. Due to other side effects, its oral use was stopped, but it became popular as a topical cream to promote hair growth. NH2 N-OH NH Minoxidil The first key reaction in one synthesis of minoxidil follows. Draw the product of this reaction. NH NC.
