Question
Chapter 15.5, Problem 15.13P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The chiral center in propranolol needs to be located.
Concept introduction:
A carbon center having all the different four substituents attached to it is known as a chiral center. If one of the four groups is the same, the carbon center will be achiral in nature.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The enantiomers of propranolol molecule needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
If the molecules have the chiral center, the different forms of the molecules which are optically active are known as enantiomers of each other.

(a) Label each alkene that exhibits stereoisomerism as E or Z.
Phenylethanol can be oxidised to phenylethanal or phenylethanoic acid, depending
on the reagents used (both the alcohol and the aldehyde are of interest for their
antimicrobial properties, while the acid is used to treat type II hyperammonemia):

Suggest reagents (shown as A and B in the scheme above) that could be
used to carry out the oxidation of the alcohol to the aldehyde and the acid,
respectively.

Suggest two other syntheses of phenylethanoic acid, in each case indicating
the starting materials and other reagents required, but not giving details of
mechanism. One of your proposed syntheses must start with a compound
which only contains seven carbon atoms (the acid product contains eight
carbon atoms).
