- Following is a retrosynthesis for the coronary vasodilator ganglefene. (a) Propose a synthesis for ganglefene from 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3-methyl-3-buten-2-one. (b) Is ganglefene chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardShow the products you would expect to obtain from reaction of glyceryl Trioleate with the following reagents: (a) Excess Br2 in CH2Cl2 (b) H2/Pd (c) NaOH/H2O (d) O3, then Zn/CH3CO2H (e) LiAlH4, then H3O1 (f) CH3MgBr, then H3O1arrow_forwardAmino acids can be prepared by reaction of alkyl halides with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by heating the initial alkylation product with aqueous HCl. Show how you would prepare alanine, CH3CH(NH2)CO2H, one of the twenty amino acids found in proteins, and propose a mechanism for acid-catalyzed conversion of the initial alkylation product to the amino acid.arrow_forward
