Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Thestructure of quaternary ammonium salt formed by the reaction of physostigmine with methyl iodide is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

>

The reaction that takes place between an amine and an alkyl halide is a direct nucleophilic substitution reaction.

>

The amino group acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon atom in alkyl halide followed by deprotonation to form amine or ammonium salt.

Barbiturates are prepared by treatment of diethyl malonate or a derivative of diethyl malonate with urea in the presence of sodium ethoxide as a catalyst. Following is an equation for the preparation of barbital, a long-duration hypnotic and sedative, from diethyl diethylmalonate an urea. Barbital is prescribed under one of a dozen or more trade names.   Propose a mechanism for This reaction The pKa of barbital is 7.4. Which is the most acidic hydrogen in this molecule and how do you account for its acidity?
A. The water solubility of amines found in medications can be increased by salt formation. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, a cough suppresant, is the salt formed from dextromethorphan (XX) and hydrobromic acid (HBr). Write the equation for the formation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide. B. Suggest appropriate starting materials ( amine and alkyl halide) needed for the preparation of each of the following salts: 1. Cetylpyridinium chloride 2. Benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride
Treatment of pentanedioic (glutaric) anhydride with ammonia at elevated temperature leads to a compound of molecular formula C5H7NO2. What is the structure of this product? [Hint: You need to think about the reactivity not only of acid anhydrides but also of amides and carboxylic acids]
