Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Synthesis of sotalol from aniline has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
Nitration: In nitration reaction, one nitro group
Friedel-Crafts Acylation: This Lewis acid-catalyzed electrophilic
Reduction: If electrons are gained to a species or hydrogen atoms are added to a species or oxygen atom gets removed from a species during a
Bromination: In bromination reaction, hydrogen atom of a molecule is replaced by a bromine atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
Sotalol is whether chiral has to be identified and the possible stereoisomers of formed in the given reaction has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Chiral carbon: A carbon is said to be chiral carbon if it is bonded to four different substituents.
Stereoisomers: Two compounds with same molecular formula but different in their orientation are considered as isomers.
Enantiomers: Two molecules are considered as enantiomers if they are not superimposable mirror images with each other.

- Following is a retrosynthesis for the coronary vasodilator ganglefene. (a) Propose a synthesis for ganglefene from 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3-methyl-3-buten-2-one. (b) Is ganglefene chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardFollowing is a synthesis for toremifene, a nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist whose structure is closely related to that of tamoxifen. (a) This synthesis makes use of two blocking groups, the benzyl (Bn) group and the tetrahydropyranyl (THP) group. Draw a structural formula of each group and describe the experimental conditions under which it is attached and removed. (b) Discuss the chemical logic behind the use of each blocking group in this synthesis. (c) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of D to E. (d) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of F to toremifene. (e) Is toremifene chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardIdentify products A and B from the given 1H NMR data.a. Treatment of CH2 = CHCOCH3 with one equivalent of HCl forms compound A.
