Question
Chapter 17.11, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The major organic product that is produced during the reaction of ethylene oxide with each of the following reagents is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
>In comparison to simple ethers,
On reacting with anionic nucleophiles, epoxides form ring-opened products. This reaction is quite rapid and is exothermic in nature.
>The high reactivity of epoxides towards anionic nucleophiles is due to the presence of angle strain in epoxide and this is relieved by opening of the ring.

Bupropion, sold under the trade name of Zyban, is an antidepressant that was approved to aid smoking cessation in 1997. Devise a synthesis of bupropion from benzene, organic compounds that have fewer than ve carbons, and any required inorganic reagents.
(−)-Hyoscyamine, an optically active drug used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, is isolated from Atropa belladonna, the deadly nightshade plant, by a basic aqueous extraction procedure. If too much base is used during isolation, optically inactive material is isolated. (a) Explain this result by drawing a stepwise mechanism. (b) Explain why littorine, an isomer isolated from the tailflower plant in Australia, can be obtained optically pure regardless of the amount of base used during isolation.
