Question
Chapter 27.SE, Problem 44AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
How to draw the structure of diethylstilbesterol (DES) such that it is sterically similar to estradiol is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Estradiol has four rings fused together. Diethylstilbesterol has only two rings joined by carbon straight chain. The carbon straight chain can be arranged in such a manner in which they can give the other two rings required.
To show:
How to draw the structure of diethylstilbesterol(DES) such that it is sterically similar to estradiol.

- Several compounds have been found to inhibit -lactamase, and drugs based on these compounds can be taken in combination with penicillins and cephalosporins to restore their effectiveness when resistance is known to be a problem. The commonly prescribed formulation called Augmentin is a combination of the -lactamase inhibitor shown below with amoxicillin (shown above). It is used to treat childhood ear infections when resistance is suspected, and many kids know it as the white liquid that tastes like bananas. Which of the statements below are true statements? 1. The stereochemistry of the fusion between the four-and five-membered rings in the inhibitor and amoxicillin are different. 2. The inhibitor possesses enol ether and allylic alcohol functional groups while the antibiotic possesses a phenol and a secondary amide functional group. 3. Neither the inhibitor nor the antibiotic contains strained rings. 4. Both 1 and 2 are true.arrow_forwardWhat products are formed when the amide shown below is heated in aqueous NaOH solution for three hours?arrow_forwardripelennamine is a histamine H1 antagonist with low sedative action but frequent gastrointestinal irritation.

- A diuretic is a compound that causes increased urination and thereby reduces fluid volume in the body. An important use of diuretics in clinical medicine is in the reduction of the fluid buildup, particularly in the lungs, that is associated with congestive heart failure. It is also used as an antihypertensive (i.e., to reduce blood pressure). Furosemide, an exceptionally potent diuretic, is prescribed under 30 or more trade names, the best known of which is Lasix. The synthesis of furosemide begins with treatment of 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid with chlorosulfonic acid in a reaction called chlorosulfonation. The product of this reaction is then treated with ammonia followed by heating with furfurylamine. Q. Propose a mechanism for the chlorosulfonation reaction in Step (1).arrow_forwardA diuretic is a compound that causes increased urination and thereby reduces fluid volume in the body.
