The major central nervous system effects of amphetamine and amphetamine-like
drugs are locomotor stimulation, euphoria and excitement, stereotyped behavior, and
anorexia. Show how each drug can be synthesized by reductive amination of an ap-
propriate aldehyde or ketone and amine.
What carboxylic acid and amine are needed to synthesize the pain reliever phenacetin? Phenacetin was once a component of the over-the-counter pain reliever APC (aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine), but it is no longer used because of its kidney toxicity.
The following intermediate was needed for the synthesis of tamoxifen, a widely used
antiestrogen drug for treating estrogen-dependent cancers such as breast and ovarian
cancer.
