- Show how the synthetic scheme developed in Problem 23.67 can be modified to synthesize this triiodobenzoic acid X-ray contrast agent.arrow_forwardIn Problem 7.28, we saw this step in Johnsons synthesis of the steroid hormone progesterone. Propose a mechanism for this step in the synthesis.arrow_forwardShow how the attached compound can be synthesized. The only carbon-containing compound available to you for synthesis are shown.arrow_forward
- Predict the major organic product formed when the compound shown below undergoes a reaction with H2O2 and then is heated in H20. I understand that it's a cope elimination so I know how it goes from an amine to an amine oxide, but I haven't done this type of problem with a heterocycle before, so the 2nd step confuses me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.arrow_forwardThe (+) - aureol is a natural product that has shown selective activity against certain colon and lung cancer cell lines. It is postulated that a key step in the biosynthesis of this substance is the conversion of carbocation A into B. Propose a possible mechanism for this transformation (MUST show the corresponding arrows).arrow_forwardPropose the retrosynthesis and later the synthesis of the following compoundsarrow_forward
- Starting with benzene, alcohols 4 carbons or smaller and using any other reagents, propose a synhesis for the target molecule. (HINT: Use a Meisenheimer complex)arrow_forwardNaturally occurring compounds called cyanogenic glycosides, such as lotaustralin, release hydrogen cyanide, HCN, when treated with aqueous acid. The reaction occurs by hydrolysis of the acetal linkage to form a cyanohydrin, which then expels HCN and gives a carbonyl compound. (a) Show the mechanism of the acetal hydrolysis and the structure of the cyanohydrin that results. (b) Propose a mechanism for the loss of HCN, and show the structure of the carbonyl compound that forms.arrow_forwardThe widely used anticoagulant warfarin (see Chemical Connections: From Moldy Clover to a Blood Thinner in Chapter 18) is synthesized from 4-hydroxycoumarin, benzaldehyde, and acetone as shown in this retrosynthesis. Show how warfarin is synthesized from these reagents.arrow_forward
- The formation of Br2 from NBS first involves the reaction of NBS with HBr to form an iminol intermediate and molecular bromine. The intermediate then undergoes acid-catalyzed tautomerism to form succinimide, the byproduct of the reaction. Propose a curved-arrow mechanism for the conversion of NBS into succinimide that also accounts for the formation of Br2.arrow_forwardIn Problem 7.28, we saw this two-step sequence in Johnsons synthesis of the steroid hormone progesterone. Propose a structural formula for the intermediate formed in Step 3 and a mechanism for its conversion in Step 4 to progesterone.arrow_forwardwhat is the major E1 product for the structure?arrow_forward
