Concept explainers
The problem below is directed toward devising a hypothetical pathway for the synthesis of the acyclic central portion of Crixivan (Merck and Company’s HIV protease inhibitor). Note that your synthesis might not adequately control the stereochemistry during each step, but for this particular exercise chat is not expected.
Fill in missing compounds and reagents in the following outline of a hypothetical synthesis of the acyclic central portion of Crixivan. Note that more than one intermediate compound may be involved between some of the structures shown below.

- Illustrate the resonance effect of the methoxy group -OCH3, on the structure of the benzene ring. Draw all the oissuvke resonance forms of methoxybenzene, including the hybrid Based on the structures, explain how the presence of the -OCH3 group affects: (i) the reactivity of the benzene ring towards electrophilic attack (ii) the orientation or point of attack of an incoming electrophilic reagent on the benzene ring.arrow_forward(4) Provide the reagents necessary to carry out the following synthesis. + enantiomer (A) (1) (i) BH3, (ii) H₂O2, NaOH; (2) NaOEt JATOT (B) (1) (i) BH3, (ii) H₂O2, NaOH; (2) TsCl, pyridine; (3) KOC(CH3)3 (C) (1) H3O+, (2) TsCl, pyridine, (3) KOC(CH3)3 (D) (1) HBr (no peroxides); (2) NaOEtarrow_forwardA student in Ochem proposed the following synthesis.

- Give the structure of compounds A to F in the following series of reactionsarrow_forwardThe Arndt-Eistert synthesis involves a rearrangement (known as a Wolff Rearrangement) with concomitant evolution of nitrogen gas. This reaction has been modified by Georg (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 15512) to result in a "vinylogous" Wolff Rearrangement (not covered in class). Propose a mechanism for Georg's variation shown below (hint: there's a ketene intermediate). Bn.

- A ketone undergoes acid-catalyzed bromination, acid-catalyzed chlorination, racemization, and acid-catalyzed deuterium exchange at the alpha-carbon. All of these reactions have similar rate constants.

If a proposed EAS reaction gives multiple regioisomers, draw them all and indicate which will be used in subsequent reactions. ZONarrow_forwardTreatment of a cyclic ketone with diazomethane is a method for accomplishing a ring-expansion reaction. The reaction involves the initial nucleophilic attack by diazomethane on the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Collapse of this intermediate is accompanied by bond migration and loss of N,. For example, treatment of cyclohexanone with diazomethane yields cycloheptanone.
