Concept Introduction:
Conversion of alcohol into haloalkane:
Conversion of primary and secondary alcohols to Chloroalkane is thionyl chloride. The reaction is carried out in the presence of base such as pyridine or trimethylamine.
The reaction of an alcohol with thionyl chloride is the formation of an alkyl Chlorosulfite that converts hydroxide ion (poor leaving group) into Chlorosulfite (good leaving group). Nucleophilic displacement of this leaving group gives product.
Leaving group: Leaving group can be any groups or atoms that get detached from either neutral or charged organic compounds. The stability of the leaving group is to stabilize the electron density that results from heterolysis cleavage of bond.

- Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forwardy-Butyrolactone (C4H6O2, GBL) is a biologically inactive compound that is converted to the biologically active recreational drug GHB (Section 19.5) by a lactonase enzyme in the body. Since y-butyrolactone is more fat soluble than GHB, it is more readily absorbed by tissues and thus produces a faster onset of physiological symptoms. y-Butyrolactone shows an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following 1H NMR spectral data: 2.28 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.48 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.35 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of y-butyrolactone?arrow_forwardPhenacetin is an analgesic compound having molecular formula C10H13NO2. Once a common component in over-the-counter pain relievers such as APC (aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine), phenacetin is no longer used because of its liver toxicity. Deduce the structure of phenacetin from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forward
- A diuretic is a compound that causes increased urination and thereby reduces fluid volume in the body. An important use of diuretics in clinical medicine is in the reduction of the fluid buildup, particularly in the lungs, that is associated with congestive heart failure. It is also used as an antihypertensive (i.e., to reduce blood pressure). Furosemide, an exceptionally potent diuretic, is prescribed under 30 or more trade names, the best known of which is Lasix. The synthesis of furosemide begins with treatment of 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid with chlorosulfonic acid in a reaction called chlorosulfonation. The product of this reaction is then treated with ammonia followed by heating with furfurylamine. Q. Propose a mechanism for the chlorosulfonation reaction in Step (1).arrow_forwardA diuretic is a compound that causes increased urination and thereby reduces fluid volume in the body.
