Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The alkyl halide needed to prepare the given primary amine by Gabriel synthesis is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Gabriel synthesis is a method of preparation of primary amines. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The phthalimide in presence of base forms the resonance stabilized anion which acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon of alkyl haides.

What carbonyl compound and amine or alcohol are needed to prepare each product?
Safrole, 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.
What product is formed when a solution of A to B is treated with mild base? This reaction is the first step in the synthesis of rosuvastatin (sold as a calcium salt under the trade name Crestor), a drug used to treat patients with high cholesterol.
