Chapter 3.SE, Problem 53AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The functional groups in these molecules and the basic difference between the the two structure are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Simvastatin
Formula: C25H38O5
Pravastatin
Formula: C23H36O7
Pravastatin (marketed as Pravachol or Selektine) is a member of the drug class of statins, used in combination with diet, exercise, and weight loss for lowering cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular disease.
Simvastatin, marketed under the trade name Zocor among others, is a lipid-lowering medication.

There are 11 structures (ignoring stereoisomerism) with the formula C4H8O that have no carbon branches. Draw the structures and identify the functional groups in each.
Identify the functional groups in leukotriene C4, a major contributor to the inflammation associated with asthma.
Glucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below.
A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.
