(a)
Interpretation:
The chirality center in the molecule of propranolol should be labeled.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions and properties of organic compounds called
Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula, but they have different arrangements of atoms in the three-dimensional space.
(b)
Interpretation:
The enantiomers of Propranolol molecule should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions and properties of organic compounds called organic chemistry. The molecular formula of an organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols. The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with chemical bonds and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule. The compounds with same molecular formula and different structural formula are called isomers. Isomers can be classified as constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.
Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula, but they have different arrangements of atoms in the three-dimensional space.
Optical isomers are type of stereoisomers which have same molecular and structural formula butdifferent arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space. The essential condition for a molecule to be optical isomer is the presence of chiral carbon atom.
(c)
Interpretation:
The enantiomer of Propranolol molecule that can show binding with chiral receptor should be drawn.

- Explain the concept of chirality in organic chemistry, its significance in drug design, and the difference between enantiomers and diastereomers.arrow_forwardHow many sp3 stereocenters and diastereomers(2n) does Miglitol have?arrow_forwardLocating Stereogenic Centers Locate the stereogenic centers in each drug. Albuterol is a bronchodilator— that is, it widens airways—so it is used to treat asthma. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic used extensively in developing countries because of its low cost.arrow_forward
- Diltiazem is prescribed to treat hypertension, and simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering drug. Locate the chirality centers in each.arrow_forwardOptically active one compound. Optically active pair of diastereomers. Optically inactive one compound. Optically inactive pair of diastereomers. Optically active pair of enantiomers. Optically inactive pair of enantiomers.arrow_forwardDraw the structure for a compound with molecular formula C2H2I2F2 a. that is optically inactive because it does not have an asymmetric center. b. that is optically inactive because it is a meso compound. c. that is optically active.arrow_forward
- Would you expect hemiacetals to be stable in basic solutions? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardEphedrine (2‑methylamino‑1‑phenylpropanol) is a drug that is used as a decongestant and bronchodilator to treat, among other conditions, the congestion due to the common cold. Place an asterisk (*) next to the chirality center(s) in the ephedrine molecule.arrow_forwardLabel the chirality center (if one exists) in each compound. A compound may contain zero or one chirality center.arrow_forward
- 16-54 Several poisonous plants, including Atropa belladonna, contain the alkaloid atropine. The name “belladonna” (which means “beautiful lady”) probably comes from the fact that Roman women used extracts from this plant to make themselves more attractive. Atropine is widely used by ophthal mologists and optometrists to dilate the pupils for eye examination. Classify the amino group in atropine as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Locate all stereocenters in atropine. Account for the fact that atropine is almost insoluble in water (1 g in 455 mL of cold water) but atropine hydrogen sulfate is very soluble (1 g in 5 mL of cold water). Account for the fact that a dilute aqueous solution of atropine is basic (pH approximately 10.0).arrow_forwardLabel each of the following structures as a hemiacetal, hemiketal, acetal, ketal, or none of these: a. c. b.arrow_forwardDigitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forward
