The widely used anticoagulant warfarin (see Chemical Connections: From Moldy Clover to a Blood Thinner in Chapter 18) is synthesized from 4-hydroxycoumarin, benzaldehyde, and acetone as shown in this retrosynthesis. Show how warfarin is synthesized from these reagents.
Which or which of the statements given below is correct. I) Maleic anhydride is a carboxylic acid derivative and its reaction with water is a reduction reaction. II) Fumaric acid and maleic acid are stereoisomers of each other III) Since fumaric acid has a more stable structure than maleic acid, its boiling point is higher. A. Solo I B. I and III C. II and III D. I, II, III E. Solo III
At pH = 12, the rate of hydrolysis of ester A is greater than the rate of hydrolysis of ester B. At pH = 8, the relative rates reverse (that is, ester B hydrolyzes faster than ester A). Explain these observations.

The reaction of an ester with an amine is not as slow as the reaction of an ester with water or an alcohol. Explain with reason. Explain why the rate of aminolysis of an ester cannot be increased by H+, OH- or OR-. How can you activate the carboxylic acid? Is acid catalyzed hydrolysis of acetamide a reversible or an irreversible reaction. Explain.
Write the products for (A-I). Label products with the mechanism (Sn2, Sn1, E1, E2) that produced it and write out and label major vs minor elimination products.
Rank the following carboxylic acid derivatives in decreasing order (most to least) of reactivity towards nucleophilic acyl substitution.
which of the following compounds would be the most basic? A. p-methoxyaniline B. p-nitroaniline C. p-toluidine D. aniline E. All would have the same basicity
Draw the structure of the final product when p-nitroanisole is sequentially subjected to the following reactions.
1. Put these three common types of carbonyl compound in order of decreasing reactivity ester amide acid chloride 2. For the least reactive, show the interconversion to its other resonance form: How does this electron delocalisation make it stable? 3. For the most reactive, draw the mechanism of its undergoing hydrolysis (reaction with H2O): Why makes this type of carbonyl so reactive to nucleophiles?
A step in a synthesis of PGE1 (prostanglandin E1, alprostadil) is reaction of a trisubstituted cyclohexene with bromine to form a bromolactone. Alprostadil is used as temporary therapy for infants born with congenital heart defects that restrict pulmonary blood flow. It brings about dilation of the ductus arteriosus, which in turn increases blood flow in the lungs and blood oxygenation. Propose a mechanism for formation of This bromolactone, and account for the observed stereochemistry of each substituent on the cyclohexane ring.
