Consider lisinopril, a drug used primarily in the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, and after heart attacks.
(a) Name the various functional groups in lisinopril.
(b) What intermolecular forces are expected to exist between molecules of lisinopril in close proximity to one another (Section 5.7)?
i. Why is the boiling point of the aldehyde greater than that of the alkane? ii. Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest? iii. Explain why the solubility of aldehydes and alcohols falls as the molecules get bigger.
The table below shows the boiling point points of an alkane and aldehyde and an alcohol:
Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest?
