(b)
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.

- (a) Give an acceptable name for compound A. (b) Draw the organic products formed when A is treated with each reagent: [1] H3O+; [2] −OH, H2O; [3] CH3CH2CH2MgBr (excess), then H2O; [4] LiAlH4, then H2O.arrow_forwardDevise a synthesis of each compound from the given starting material(s). Albuterol is a bronchodilator and proparacaine is a local anesthetic.arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction, one step in the synthesis of the cholesterol-lowering drug ezetimibe.arrow_forward
- What product is formed when a solution of A and B is treated with mild base? This reaction is the rst 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_forwardNot all aldehyde give a positve Bendicts test. Which of the follwing aldehydes do? a. d. b. e. c.arrow_forwardThe reaction of a nitrile with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid forms an N-substituted amide. This reaction, known as the Ritter reaction, doesnot work with primary alcohols. a. Why does the Ritter reaction not work with primary alcohols? b. Provide an explanation for why an amide is less susceptible to nucleophilic attack than its corresponding ester.arrow_forward
- a. What two amides are obtained from the reaction of acetyl chloride with an equivalent of ethylamine and an equivalent of propylamine?b. Why is only one amide obtained from the reaction of acetyl chloride with an equivalent of ethylamine and an equivalent of triethylamine?arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the sulfonation of an alkyl benzene such as A to form a substituted benzenesulfonic acid B. Treatment of B with base forms a sodium salt C that can be used as a synthetic detergent to clean away dirt (see Problem 3.22).arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the following reactions, two steps in R. B. Woodward’s classic synthesis of reserpine in 1958. Reserpine, which is isolated from the extracts of the Indian snakeroot Rauwola serpentina Benth, was used at one time to manage mild hypertension associated with anxiety.arrow_forward
