Several sulfonylureas, a class of compounds containing RSO2NHCONHR, are useful drugs as orally active replacements for injected insulin in patients with adult-onset diabetes. These drugs decrease blood glucose concentrations by stimulating b cells of the pancreas to release insulin and by increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors in peripheral tissues to insulin stimulation. Tolbutamide is synthesized by the reaction of the sodium salt of p-toluenesulfonamide and ethyl N-butylcarbamate . Propose a mechanism for this step.
Tranexamic acid, a drug useful against blood clotting, is prepared commercially from p-methylbenzonitrile. Following is one of the steps in its synthesis, draw the structure of the product of this step.
Aziridines are heterocycles that contain an N atom in a three-membered ring. Like epoxides, aziridines are strained and reactive because the 60° bond angles of the three-membered ring deviate greatly from the theoretical tetrahedral bond angle. One step in the synthesis of the drug oseltamivir (trade name Tamiflu, Section 3.2) involves the conversion of amine X to diamine Y, a reaction that occurs by way of an intermediate aziridine. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of X to Y. Indicate the structure of the aziridine intermediate, and explain the trans stereochemistry of the two amines in Y.

- Amines are converted into alkenes by a two-step process called Hofmann elimination. SN2 reaction of the amine with an excess of CH3I in the first step yields an intermediate that undergoes E2 reaction when treated with silver oxide as base. Pentylamine, for example, yields 1-pentene. Propose a structure for the intermediate, and explain why it readily undergoes elimination.arrow_forwardFollowing are the steps in the industrial synthesis of glycerin.

They all react wotu H2/PtO2 to give the same compound. The reaction of A or B with H2O/H2SO4 or with BH3-THF, followed by treatment with a basic solution of hydrogen peroxide, gives the same compound, namely D. The reaction of C with H2O/H2SO4 also gives D. However, the reaction of C with BH3-THF, followed by HO-, H2O2 gives a new compound, E. Provide the identity of A, B, C, D, and E along with explanations of reactivity.arrow_forward
