- Synthadotin is a promising anticancer drug in clinical trials. a.Identify the functional groups. b.Classify any amine or amide as 1°, 2°, or 3°. c.At which sites can synthadotin hydrogen bond to another molecule like itself? d. Label two nucleophilic sites. e. Label two electrophilic sites. f. What product is formed when synthadotin is treated with HCl?arrow_forwardLabel each nitrogen-containing functional group in lidocaine, a local anesthetic, as an amine or amide, and classify it as 1 °, 2 °, or 3 °.arrow_forwardThe –NHCOR group of an amide is an activating group, but it is not as strongly activating as NH2. (a) Explain why it is an activating group. (b) Explain why it is less activating than NH2.arrow_forward
- What ammonium salt is formed when each amine is treated with HCl? Draw the structure of the resulting salt.arrow_forwardAmide hydrolysis in basic conditions forms A. a carboxylic acid and an amine B. a carboxylate salt and an amine 3. an ester and an amine 4. a carboxylic acid and an amine saltarrow_forwardWhat products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds are hydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiflu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating influenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the artificial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products of this hydrolysis reaction is the amino acid phenylalanine. Infants afflicted with phenylketonuria cannot metabolize this amino acid, so it accumulates, causing mental retardation. When the affliction is identified early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.arrow_forward
- Fenfluramine and phentermine are two components of fen–phen, an appetite suppressant withdrawn from the market in 1997 after it was shown to damage the heart valves in some patients. What products are formed when fenfluramine and phentermine are each treated with acetic acid (CH3CO2H)?arrow_forwardWhat products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds are hydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating inuenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the articial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products ofthis hydrolysis reaction is the amino acid phenylalanine. Infants afflicted with phenylketonuria cannot metabolize this amino acid, so it accumulates, causing mental retardation. When the affliction is identied early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.arrow_forwardThe hydrolysis of an amide in acidic conditions forms A. a carboxylate salt and an alcohol B. a carboxylate salt and an amine C. an alcohol and an amine salt (an ammonium ion) D. a carboxylic acid and an amine salt (an ammonium ion)arrow_forward
- Stanozolol 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_forwardWhat products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds arehydrolyzed in each of the following compounds?
