Chapter 18, Problem 18.68P
Minoxidil is a molecule that causes hair growth in some people. It was originally synthesized as a vasodilator for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Most of the patients taking the drug for hypertension were seen to grow body hair. Due to other side effects, its oral use was stopped, but it became popular as a topical cream to promote hair growth.
The first key reaction in one synthesis of minoxidil follows. Draw the product of this reaction.

- The compound eutypine is an antibacterial agent isolated from the fungus Eutypa lata. This fungus results in a disease common to vineyards called eutyposis.

Even though its effect on coronary vasculature tone was recognized over 30 years ago, only recently has its role as a calcium channel blocker become understood. Following is a retrosynthetic analysis leading to a convergent synthesis; it is convergent because (A) and (B) are made separately and then combined (i.e., the route converges) to give the final product. Convergent syntheses are generally much more efficient than those in which the skeleton is built up stepwise. Q. How do you account for the regioselectivity of the nucleophilic displacement involved in converting (C) to (B)?arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction. The four-membered ring in the starting material and product is called a β-lactam.

- Heating an alcohol in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid will cause a dehydration to occur: the removal of the elements of water from a molecule, forming an alkene. The reaction usually follows an E1 mechanism. The SN1 pathway is suppressed, both by heating the reaction mixture (more energy promotes the elimination pathway) and by using a strong acid whose conjugate base is a poor nucleophile.
