To determine: The expected product of the given
Interpretation: The expected product of the given
Concept introduction: Under normal conditions tertiary alcohols are not oxidized. However, when the tertiary alcohol is allylic, it undergoes a migration of the double bond (that is called an allylic shift) and subsequent oxidation of alcohol. Bobbitt’s reagent is helpful in such kind of oxidation reactions.

- ) PLA, a polyester-based synthetic polymer, decomposes in our body fluid and separates into its constituent acids and alcohol. This acid in the body can cause inflammation. What would you recommend to overcome this disadvantage? b) The late decomposition of PLA, which is a biodegradable and hydrophobic polymer, in body fluid may create a disadvantage in applications where faster degradation is desired. What would you suggest to do to resolve this situation?

- The LD50 (“Lethal Dose, 50 %”) is a value used in toxicology which gives the amount of a substance required to kill 50 % of a test population. It is usually reported based on body weight. For racemic carvone LD50 is reported as 1640 mg/kg. 1. Would it consider carvone to be toxic to an average person? Explain. 2. Would it be expected this the LD50 value to be the same for each enantiomer? Explain at the molecular level in stereochemical terms.arrow_forwardThe standard procedure for synthesizing a compound is the stepwise progress toward a target molecule by forming individual bonds through single reactions. Typically, the product of each reaction is isolated and purified before the next reaction in the sequence is carried out. One of the ways nature avoids this tedious practice of isolation and purification is by the use of a domino sequence in which each new product is built on a preexisting one in stepwise fashion. A great example of a laboratory domino reaction is William S. Johnsons elegant synthesis of the female hormone progesterone. Johnson first constructed the polyunsaturated monocyclic 3 alcohol (A) and then, in an acid-induced domino reaction, formed compound B, which he then converted to progesterone. A remarkable feature of this synthesis is that compound A, which has only one stereo-center, gives compound B, which has five stereocenters, each with the same configuration as those in progesterone. We will return to the chemistry of Step 2 in Section 16.7 and to the chemistry of Steps 3 and 4 in Chapter 19. In this problem, we focus on Step 1. (a) Assume that the domino reaction in Step 1 is initiated by protonation of the 3 alcohol in compound A followed by loss of H2O to give a 3 carbocation. Show how the series of reactions initiated by the formation of this cation gives compound B. (b) If you have access to a large enough set of molecular models or to a computer modeling program, build a model of progesterone and describe the conformation of each ring. There are two methyl groups and three hydrogen atoms at the set of ring junctions in progesterone. Which of these five groups occupies an equatorial position? Which occupies an axial position?arrow_forwardPoint out the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions in the structures of benzalkoniumchloride, Nonoxynol®, and Gardol®arrow_forward
