(a)
Interpretation:
Mechanism for the conversion of compound (A) to compound (B) has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Acid catalyzed reactions:
In an
(b)
Interpretation:
For the conversion of compound (B) to compound (C) reagents has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
Grignard addition:
It is an addition of organomagnesium halide to an
(c)
Interpretation:
Mechanism for the conversion of compound (C) to compound (D) has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Acid catalyzed reactions:
In an organic synthesis reactions, most of the reactions are initiated by the abstraction of proton from acids by the reactant. Sulphuric acid is one of the reagent used for this purposes.
(d)
Interpretation:
For the conversion of compound (d) to amitriptyline reagents has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
SN2 reaction:
SN2 stands for bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. In this type of reactions, simultaneous bond breaking and bond making steps are involved.
(e)
Interpretation:
The chirality of amitriptyline and the number of possible stereoisomers has to be checked.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers and chiral:
Isomers differing only in their spatial arrangement of atoms are called as stereoisomers.
The geometric property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image is known as chirality. Chiral carbon is the one which is attached with four different groups or atoms.

- Which of the following is a meta-hydroxylated arylimidazoline alpha-1 direct-acting agonist? Naphazoline Oxymetazoline Phenylephrine Tetrahydrozolinearrow_forwardWhat are the contraindications of norepinephrine as a drug?arrow_forwardOmeprazole is administered orally as a galenic formulation to protect it from being activated during its journey through the acidic contents of the stomach. Once it is released in the intestines, it is absorbed into the blood supply and carried to the parietal cells where it crosses the cell membrane into the canaliculi and is activated. As the canaliculi lead directly into the lumen of the stomach, why is omeprazole not orally administered directly to the stomach?arrow_forward
- Explain the biosynthetic pathway of caffeine to Theobromine in detail?arrow_forwardWhy can some vitamin-K antagonists act as anticoagulants?arrow_forwardCompounds like amphetamine that contain nitrogen atoms are protonated by the HCl in the gastric juices of the stomach, and the resulting salt is then deprotonated in the basic environment of the intestines to regenerate the neutral form. Write proton transfer reactions for both of these processes. In which form will amphetamine pass through a cell membrane?arrow_forward
- A drug which has high affinity for muscarinic receptors not nicotinic receptors and is an antagonist not an agonist: Norepinephrine (LEVOPHED) O Atracurium (TRACURIUM) Echothiophate (PHOSPHOLINE) Ipratropium (ATROVENT) Norepinephrine (LEVOPHED) nint)arrow_forward¨ What other types of analgesics are on the market? How does their action compare with aspirin and why are these alternative drugs necessary? Discuss the differences among the following compounds by drawing their structures: Acetylsalicylic acid, Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Phenacetin.arrow_forwardName two reasons why the adolescent brain is particularly susceptible to developing a lifetime drug addiction.arrow_forward
- Please draw the chemical structure for a phosphatidylethanolamine which contains trans, trans, cis-Δ10, Δ15 Δ18 Eicosatrienoate and cis-Δ13 hexadecenoate fatty acids.arrow_forwardWhat causes deficiency of norepinephrine and what happens when norepinephrine levels are low? 2. What is the difference between norepinephrine and epinephrine in terms of structure?arrow_forward(c) Discuss the ADMET properties related to drug action.arrow_forward
