Question
Chapter 27, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The structure of 5-Fluorouracil has to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The compound 5-fluorouracil is used in the chemotherapy of breast-cancer. Uracil belongs to the class of pyrimidines. It is a nucleobase commonly found in RNA.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 15P
Solution:
The structure of 5-fluorouracil is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of uracil is shown below.
If a fluoro substituent is attached to the fifth position of the uracil ring, then the structure obtained is called 5-fluorouracil. The structure of 5-fluorouracil is shown below.
Conclusion
In the structure of 5-Fluorouracil, a fluoro substituent is attached to the fifth position of the uracil ring.

Aziridines are heterocycles that contain an N atom in a three-membered ring. Like epoxides, aziridines are strained and reactive because the 60° bond angles of the three-membered ring deviate greatly from the theoretical tetrahedral bond angle. One step in the synthesis of the drug oseltamivir (trade name Tamiu, Section 3.2) involves the conversion of amine X to diamine Y, a reaction that occurs by way of an intermediate aziridine. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of X to Y. Indicate the structure of the aziridine intermediate, and explain the trans stereochemistry of the two amines in Y.
