Chapter 18, Problem 18.68P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Natural source and a medicinal use of morphine should be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Alkaloids are naturally occurring amines derived from plant sources. In general, all alkaloids are bitter in taste. Many alkaloids show pharmacological properties.

E.g. Morphine has analgesic properties, Cocaine has stimulant properties, quinine has antimalarial properties, etc.

Chemical structure of morphine is shown below.

Alkaloids are basic nitrogen-containing compounds of plant origin, many of which are physiologically active when administered to humans. Ingestion of coniine, isolated from water hemlock, can cause weakness, labored respiration, paralysis, and eventually death. Coniine is the toxic substance in the “poison hemlock” used in the death of Socrates. In small doses, nicotine is an addictive stimulant. In larger doses, it causes depression, nausea, and vomiting. In still larger doses, it is a deadly poison. Solutions of nicotine in water are used as insecticides. Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant obtained from the leaves of the coca plant.Classify each amino group in these alkaloids according to type (primary, secondary, tertiary, aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic).
Describe the sources of alkaloids, name some examples, and tell how their properties are typical of amines.
(a) Draw the structures for the eight constitutional isomers of molecular formula C 4H 11N. (b) Give the systematic name for each amine. (c) Identify the chirality center present in one of the amines.
