(a)
Interpretation: The starting material required for the preparation of given imine is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: The starting material required for the preparation of given imine is to be determined.
Concept introduction: Aldehyde or ketone on reaction with primary amine forms imine. Imine is also known as Schiff base. The nucleophilic attack of primary amine on carbonyl carbon results in the formation of intermediate carbinolamine. This intermediate loses water to form an imine.

- Although γ-butyrolactone is a biologically inactive compound, it isconverted in the body to 4-hydroxybutanoic acid (GHB), an addictive andintoxicating recreational drug. Draw a stepwise mechanism for thisconversion in the presence of acid.arrow_forwardSafrole, which is isolated from sassafras (Problem 21.33), can be converted to the illegal stimulant MDMA (3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine, “Ecstasy”) by a variety of methods. (a) Devise a synthesis that begins with safrole and uses a nucleophilic substitution reaction to introduce the amine. (b) Devise a synthesis that begins with safrole and uses reductive amination to introduce the amine.arrow_forwardWhat product is formed when a solution of A to B is treated with mild base?
