(a)
Interpretation:
Given amine has to be classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary amine.
Concept introduction:
In chemistry Structure is the arrangement of
Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the amide, different types of amides can form.
(b)
Interpretation:
Similarities and differences between the structural formulas of (R)-epinephrine and (R)-albuterol has to be compared
Concept introduction:
In chemistry Structure is the arrangement of chemical bonds between atoms in a molecule, specifically which atoms are chemically bonded to what other atoms with what kind of chemical bond.
Amines are the derivatives of ammonia
Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the amide, different types of amides can form.

- Decide which N atom in each molecule is most basic, and draw the product formed when each compound is treated with CH3CO2H. Zolpidem (trade name Ambien) is used to treat insomnia, whereasaripiprazole (trade name Abilify) is used to treat depression,schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders.arrow_forward3 Compare the basicity of amines with other common bases, and explain how theirbasicity varies with hybridization and aromaticity.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_forward
- The shrub ma huang (Section 5.4A) contains two biologically active stereoisomers—ephedrine and pseudoephedrine—with two stereogenic centers as shown in the given structure. Ephedrine is one component of a once-popular combination drug used by body builders to increase energy and alertness, whereas pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant. a.Draw the structure of naturally occurring (−)-ephedrine, which has the 1R,2S configuration. b.Draw the structure of naturally occurring (+)-pseudoephedrine, which has the 1S,2S configuration. c.How are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine related? d.Draw all other stereoisomers of (−)-ephedrine and (+)pseudoephedrine, and give the R,S designation for all stereogenic centers. e.How is each compound drawn in part (d) related to (−)-ephedrine?arrow_forwardAlthough 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_forwardRank the following amines in order of basicity.arrow_forward
