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.

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): A (a) (b) (c) CoH,CH,CHO phenylethanal B C6H5CH₂CH₂OHC₂H₂CH₂CO₂H phenylethanol 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. C6H5CH₂- 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). phenylethanoic acid Phenylethanal can be converted to a hydrate in the presence of aqueous acid, though the position of equilibrium is very far to the left: H H+/H₂O OH C6H5CH₂-C-H OH Explain why…
