An acid–base reaction of (R)-sec-butylamine with a racemic mixture of 2phenylpropanoic acid forms two products having different melting points and somewhat different solubilities. Draw the structure of these two products. Assign R and S to any stereogenic centers in the products. How are the two products related? Choose from enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or not isomers of each other.
Following is an outline of a synthesis of the bronchodilator carbuterol, a beta-2 adrenergic blocker with high selectivity for airway smooth muscle receptors.
Q. Is carbuterol chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?
Assign R or S configurations to each stereogenic center of isoborneol and borneol. Give the
relationship between these two stereoisomers.
