Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 2P
Methoxychlor is an insecticide that was intended to take DDT’s place because it is not as soluble in fatty tissues and is more readily biodegradable. It, too, can accumulate in the environment, so its use was also banned—in 2002 in the European Union and in 2003 in the United States. Why is methoxychlor less soluble in fatty tissues than DDT?

A drug user responded to an ad placed by a DEA informant in a drug-culture magazine. He later flew fromColorado to Maryland, where he bought some 1-phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) from the informant. The police waited nearlya month for the suspect to synthesize something, then obtained a search warrant, and searched the residence. They foundthe unopened bottle of P2P; apparently, the suspect was not a good chemist and was unable to follow the instructions theinformant gave him. They also found pipes and bongs with residues of marijuana and cocaine, plus a bottle of methylamine hydrochloride, some muriatic acid (dilute HCl), zinc strips, flasks, and other equipment.(a) Assume you are consulting for the police.

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.
