Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name for the ester given has to be assigned.
Concept Introduction:
For naming an ester, it can be structurally viewed in a way that contains an acyl group and an alkyl group.
Rules to obtain IUPAC name and common name for an ester:
- Alkyl part appears first in the IUPAC name and it is followed by the acyl part of ester as a separate word.
- Name of the alkyl part in the ester is just a name of R group. It can be alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl group.
- Acyl part present in the ester is named by considering the acid name and replacing the suffix “-ic acid” with “-ate”.
- To obtain the common name the alkyl part name is the same while the acyl part name is derived from the common name of the acid by replacing the suffix “-ic acid” with “-ate”.
(b)

EBK GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOLOGICAL CH
- Enalapril is an anti-hypertension "prodrug" (i.e, a drug precursor) that is inactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid ("enalaprilat") that results from this hydrolysis reaction. (a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be administered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill, but enalaprilat does not? EtOOC -NH CH3 HOOC Enalapril (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin. ACE has a KM = 12 µM for angiotensin, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 75 µM. When enalaprilat is present at 2.4 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 10% of its uninhib- ited activity.
