- Cancer of the prostate is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American males, exceeded only by lung cancer. One treatment of prostate cancer is based on the fact that testosterone and androsterone (both androgens) enhance the proliferation of prostate tumors. The drug flutamide (an antiandrogen) reduces the level of androgens in target tissues and is currently used to prevent and treat prostate cancer.Propose a synthesis of flutamide from trifluoromethylbenzenearrow_forwardHow might you convert geraniol into either ethyl geranylacetate or geranylacetone?arrow_forwardIllustrate the Separation of cyclohexanamine and cyclohexanol by an extraction procedure ?arrow_forward
