Chapter 10, Problem 10.43P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: Each double bond in lejimalide B is to be labeled as E or Z.

Concept introduction: Stereochemistry is defined as the arrangement of molecule in three dimensional and its impact on chemical reactions.

The use of prefix E and Z depends upon the location of the higher priority groups. When two higher priority groups are present on the opposite side then it is an E isomer, whereas when two higher priority groups are present on the same side then it is an Z isomer. The priority order depends upon the atomic number of the elements.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: Each tetrahedral stereogenic center in the given drug is to be labeled as R or S.

Concept introduction: Rules for assigning R and S configuration are as follows:

1. The groups are prioritized on the basis of their atomic numbers. Atom with highest atomic number is assigned the first position.

2. If the atoms that are attached to the chiral centre are similar to each other, then the priority is given on the basis of the next atom attached.

3. The molecule is oriented in such a manner that the lowest priority group comes at the dashed wedge.

4. If the first three high priority groups are present in a clockwise manner then the molecule is assigned R configuration but if these are present in an anticlockwise manner then the molecule is assigned with S configuration.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The number of stereoisomers possible for lejimalide B is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: A compound exhibits number of stereoisomers when it contains more than one stereogenic centers. The maximum number of stereoisomers a compound with n number of stereogenic centers can show is 2n. A carbon atom which is bonded to four different groups is termed as chiral center or stereogenic center. Two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers. A pair of diastereomers exists when two substituents attached to each of the double bonded carbon atoms are different.

Although γ-butyrolactone is a biologically inactive compound, it isconverted in the body to 4-hydroxybutanoic acid (GHB), an addictive andintoxicating recreational drug. Draw a stepwise mechanism for thisconversion in the presence of acid.
(−)-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.
