Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Theamine needs to be classified as 1°, 2°, and 3°in rasagiline.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols.
(b)
Interpretation:
Thefunctional groups present in the molecule of rasagiline needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols.
Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester, or amide.
(c)
Interpretation:
The chirality center in the molecule of rasagiline needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A center attached to 4 different groups is known as chirality center.

- Several compounds have been found to inhibit -lactamase, and drugs based on these compounds can be taken in combination with penicillins and cephalosporins to restore their effectiveness when resistance is known to be a problem. The commonly prescribed formulation called Augmentin is a combination of the -lactamase inhibitor shown below with amoxicillin (shown above). It is used to treat childhood ear infections when resistance is suspected, and many kids know it as the white liquid that tastes like bananas. Which of the statements below are true statements? 1. The stereochemistry of the fusion between the four-and five-membered rings in the inhibitor and amoxicillin are different. 2. The inhibitor possesses enol ether and allylic alcohol functional groups while the antibiotic possesses a phenol and a secondary amide functional group. 3. Neither the inhibitor nor the antibiotic contains strained rings. 4. Both 1 and 2 are true.arrow_forwardStanozolol is an anabolic steroid that promotes muscle growth. Althoughstanozolol has been used by athletes and body builders, many physicaland psychological problems result from prolonged use and it is bannedin competitive sports. Explain why the pKa of the N—H bond in the pyrazole ring iscomparable to the pKa of the O—H bond, making it considerably moreacidic than amines such as CH3NH2 (pKa = 40).arrow_forwardUsing the data in Appendix C, determine which of the following bases is strong enough to deprotonate acetonitrile (CH3CN), so that equilibrium favors the products: (a) NaH; (b) Na2CO3; (c) NaOH; (d) NaNH2; (e) NaHCO3.arrow_forward
