(a)
Interpretation:
Reaction mechanism has to be proposed for the given conversion.
(b)
Interpretation:
The regioselectivity of carbon-carbon bond formation in the given conversion has to be accounted.
Concept Introduction:
Regioselectivity: It is the favouring of reactants or reagents to bond to one atom or another. Regioisomers are isomers in which connectivity of atoms varies but same number of atoms are present in it. An example of reaction between propene and hydrochloric acid for regioisomers is given as,
(c)
Interpretation:
For the given conversion, experimental condition has to be described.
(d)
Interpretation:
For the given conversion, experimental condition has to be described.

- Following is a synthesis for toremifene, a nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist whose structure is closely related to that of tamoxifen. (a) This synthesis makes use of two blocking groups, the benzyl (Bn) group and the tetrahydropyranyl (THP) group. Draw a structural formula of each group and describe the experimental conditions under which it is attached and removed. (b) Discuss the chemical logic behind the use of each blocking group in this synthesis. (c) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of D to E. (d) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of F to toremifene. (e) Is toremifene chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardThe following compound has been found to be an inhibitor of penicillinase. The enzyme can be reactivated by hydroxylamine (NH2OH). Propose a mechanism to account for the inhibition and for the reactivation.arrow_forward(D)The best route to synthesise aromatic primary amines is by reduction of the corresponding nitro compounds. Draw the reaction scheme for the preparation of p-toluidine.arrow_forward
- Show how to synthesize the following amines from the indicated starting materials byacylation–reduction.(a) N-butylpiperidine from piperidinearrow_forwardGiven this retrosynthetic analysis, propose a synthesis for bupropion.arrow_forwardSeveral additional amine syntheses are effectively limited to making primary amines. The reduction of azides and nitrocompounds and the Gabriel synthesis leave the carbon chain unchanged. Formation and reduction of a nitrile adds onecarbon atom. Show how these amine syntheses can be used for the following conversions.(a) allyl bromide S allylamine (b) ethylbenzene S p@ethylanilinearrow_forward
- Give mechanism asaparrow_forwardOne step in the urea cycle for ridding the body of ammonia is the conversion of argininosuccinate to the amino acid arginine plus fumarate. Propose a mechanism for the reaction, and show the structure of arginine.arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with thiols to yield thioacetals just as they react with alcohols to yield acetals. Predict the product of the following reaction, and propose a mechanism:arrow_forward
- The insecticide DDT is prepared by the following route. Suggest a mechanism for this reaction. The abbreviation DDT is derived from the common name dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane.arrow_forwardAzlactones are important starting materials used in the synthesis of dehydro α-aminoacids. They react with aldehydes to form an intermediate that is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to give the final amino acid product. Provide the structure of the intermediate and propose a mechanism for its formation.arrow_forwardDiscovery of the antibiotic sulphanilamide led to rapid development of a large number of structurally related sulphonamides. Some of these were useful leads to compounds with other medicinal properties. Amongst these, sulfasalazine was active in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, a potentially fatal disease of the colon. As a medicinal chemist, you are about to carry out the synthesis of sulfasalazine, starting from aniline. Give the chemical names and draw the chemical structures of the reagents you will need to use for the all the steps marked (a)-(d). Aniline HO₂C HO (a) N=N- ACHN Ac represents CH3CO Sulfasalazine SO,NH S0,C1 N (b) (d) H₂N- SO,NH (c) N [Oro] SO,NH N Step (a) in question 5 above results in the para product only. Explain why this occurs.arrow_forward
