The analgesic Tylenol is often taken by people who are allergic to aspirin. Tylenol contains acetaminophen (structure shown) as the active ingredient.
Is the structure of acetaminophen similar to the structure of aspirin? In what way? Would acetaminophen give a positive phenol test? What products would be obtained if acetaminophen were hydrolyzed in acidic aqueous solution?
The amines are organic weak bases which are nitrogen-containing. In the early days of organic chemistry, basic amines derived from natural sources were known as “vegetable alkali”, but they are now referred to as alkaloids. The study of alkaloids provided much of the growth of organic chemistry, phytochemistry and natural products chemistry. It remains a fascinating area of research. Please search for one naturally occurring alkaloid and provide the following:
Name of the alkaloid and show its structure. Identify using arrows the polar bonds in the structure
Species from where it was isolated
What was the use of this alkaloid in plants (if any)?
What are the pharmacological, medicinal, or environmental uses or applications of this alkaloid (if any)?
If a quaternary ammonium ion can undergo an elimination reaction with a strong base, why can’t a protonated tertiary amine undergo the same reaction?
