Chapter 16, Problem 16.52P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Procaine was one of the first local anesthetics. Its hydrochloride salt is marketed as Novocain.

Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 16.52P

If procaine is chiral or not and if it contains any stereocenter should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Procaine contains amino ester group, it is a local anesthetic drug. It is required to relief the pain caused by injection of penicillin. It is also required in dentistry. In some regions, procaine is popular as Novocain.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The nitrogen atom of procaine which is a stronger base should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

A structural formula for the salt formed by treating procaine with one mole of HCl, showing which nitrogen is protonated and bears the positive charge should be determined.

The pKaa of the conjugate acid of guanidine is 13.6, making it one of the strongest neutral organic bases. Offer an explanation.
A naturally occurring amino acid such as alanine has a group that is a carboxylic acid and a group that is a protonated amine. a. If the pKa value of a carboxylic acid such as acetic acid is about 5 (see Table 2.1), then why is the pKa value of the carboxylic acid group of alanine so much lower? b. Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at pH = 0. c. Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at physiological pH (pH 7.4). d. Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at pH = 12. e. Is there a pH at which alanine is uncharged (that is, neither group has a charge)? f. At what pH does alanine have no net charge (that is, the amount of negative charge is the same as the amount of positive charge)?
Given that C6H11COOH has a pKa = 4.8 and C6H11N+H3 has a pKa = 10.7, What pH would you make the water layer to cause the carboxylic acid to dissolve in the water layer and the amine to dissolve in the ether layer?
