Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The synthesis that begins with safrole and uses a nucleophilic substitution reaction to introduce the amine is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: The synthesis that begins with safrole and uses reductive amination to introduce the amine is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Amines are the derivatives of ammonia consisting of nitrogen atom with the lone pair of electrons. They are basic compounds. The synthesis of the products relies upon the type of reactants and reagents that are used during the reactions. The reagents perform numerous functions in reactions like proton abstraction, oxidation, reduction, catalysis, and dehydrogenation.

- Quinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure andcongestive heart failure. One step in the synthesis of quinapril involvesreaction of the racemic alkyl bromide A with a single enantiomer of theamino ester B. Given the structure of quinapril, which one of these two products isneeded to synthesize the drug?arrow_forwardBupropion, sold under the trade name of Zyban, is an antidepressant that was approved to aid smoking cessation in 1997. Devise a synthesis of bupropion from benzene, organic compounds that have fewer than five carbons, and any required inorganic reagents.arrow_forwardLabetalol, a β‑blocker antagonist of epinephrine and norepinephrine, is commonly used in treating high blood pressure. Labetalol can be synthesized from a primary amine and an epoxide. Using the starting materials given, add curved arrows to complete the mechanism for the synthesis of Labetalol. The general base (:B)(:B) will be used for proton transfers.arrow_forward
- A synthesis of the pain reliever phenacetin is outlined in the following equation. What is the structure of phenacetin?arrow_forwardMaraviroc, a drug used to treat HIV, is prepared by reductive amination of aldehyde A with amine B. What is the structure of maraviroc, if the most basic N atom of amine B is used in reductive amination?arrow_forwardRank the basicity of the following sets of compounds. And give explanation.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardRank the attached compounds in order of increasing basicity andexplain the order you chose.arrow_forwardplease help with this question. thank you. The following sequence, beginning with a cyclic hemiacetal (compound A), was part of a recently reported enantiospecific synthesis of a powerful sex pheromone (currently used in pest management) of the mealybug Pseudococcus viburni: Draw the structures of compound B and C. Provide a plausible mechanism to explain the transformation from compound C into compound D. Identify the reagents you would need to convert compound D into compound F (in just two steps). Also identify the structure of compound E.arrow_forward
