Which of the following sweet molecule and its classification is correct?
cyclamate: artificial carbohydrate sweetener
phylloducin:artificial nutritive sweetener
fructose: natural non-nutritive sweetener
maltitol:reduced carbohydrate nutritive sweetener
Ester compounds often have a sweet, pleasant odor. Many
characteristic fruit scents are largely due to the natural presence
of one or more ester compounds. As such, artificial scents for
foods are often composed of complex mixtures of various esters.
The exact identity and ratio of ingredients that compose a
particular scent are closely guarded secrets in the food and
fragrance industry.
Suppose that you are a chemist working for a company that i
creating a new line of air fresheners. The company is considering
three scents: apple, pear, and pineapple. The project manager has
asked you to prepare the ester compounds that are largely
responsible for these scents. The structural formulas for these
ester compounds are shown here:

The name “belladonna” (which means “beautiful lady”) probably comes from the fact that Roman women used extracts from this plant to make themselves more attractive. Atropine is widely used by ophthal mologists and optometrists to dilate the pupils for eye examination. Classify the amino group in atropine as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Locate all stereocenters in atropine. Account for the fact that atropine is almost insoluble in water (1 g in 455 mL of cold water) but atropine hydrogen sulfate is very soluble (1 g in 5 mL of cold water). Account for the fact that a dilute aqueous solution of atropine is basic (pH approximately 10.0).arrow_forward
