The addition of a nucleophilic group like a thiol (-SH), or an unprotonated amino group (-NH₂) to an a,ß-unsaturated ketone is important for understanding how NAPQI reacts with glutathione, N-acetylcysteine, or protein amino acid side chains containing -SH or -NH2 groups. In this problem we will add mercaptoethanol to p-benzoquinone. p-Benzoquinone will be a simple model of NAPQI. +H H a single uncharged addition product This reaction will proceed in steps. First the H-S-R will add to the unsaturated ketone to give a charged addition product. Next, a simple proton transfer will form an uncharged adduct in which the 6-membered ring contains one carbonyl and a second enolic hydroxyl. The keto form next will tautomerize to its more stable enol form, and in doing so the 6-membered ring becomes aromatic with 6-π electrons. See page 14 of the lecture notes for Lecture 9 How ADME affects preclinical Drug Design February 24, 2023, where I have shown the mechanism for this addition and give the final product. Show the mechanism of addition and the structure of the final un-charged addition product.

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.
The formation of Br2 from NBS first involves the reaction of NBS with HBr to form an iminol intermediate and molecular bromine. The intermediate then undergoes acid-catalyzed tautomerism to form succinimide, the byproduct of the reaction. Propose a curved-arrow mechanism for the conversion of NBS into succinimide that also accounts for the formation of Br2.

Treatment of pentanedioic (glutaric) anhydride with ammonia at elevated temperature leads to a compound of molecular formula C5H7NO2. What is the structure of this product? [Hint: You need to think about the reactivity not only of acid anhydrides but also of amides and carboxylic acids]
Chemistry Please help explain this textbook question: Although N, N -dimethylaniline is extremely reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution and is readily substituted by weak electrophiles, such as diazonium and nitronium ions, this reactivity is greatly diminished by the introduction of an alkyl substituent in an ortho position.
A student decided to run the esterification reaction between p-toluic acid (p-methylbenzoic) and ethanol but found that the stockroom had only just enough ethanol left to react with her carboxylic acid, that is, a stoichiometric amount of alcohol. Furthermore, the only concentrated acid the stockroom had left was hydrochloric acid (a non-dehydrating acid ). What other method (s) could she use to drive the esterification reaction to completion ?
The thioester, which form when a Cys side chain condenses with a Gln side chain a few residues away, reacts readily with compounds with the formula ROH or RNH2. Draw the resulting ester and amide reaction products.
Lidocaine synthesis consists of two steps, 2,6-dimethylaniline (1) is treated with chloroacetyl chloride under weakly basic conditions to selectively generate amide 2. The second step of the synthetic sequence involves the alkylation of diethylamine by the alkyl chloride group in 2. Based on this can you please answer the questions below! 1. Identify all electrophilic sites in chloroacetyl chloride. 2. Assuming that the yield of your amidation reaction was 100%, how many mole equivalents of diethylamine are you using in the second step of this synthesis? 3. Indicate two differences between the IR spectra of lidocaine (3) and 2,6-dimethylaniline (1). 4. Explain how you will be able to tell that the second step of the synthetic route was successful.
