Here is an abbreviated view of Doxorubicin with a large portion of the molecule
abbreviated with the "R" carbon chain. With your knowledge of Chem 131, you
recognize the asterisked carbon on the lower portion of Doxorubicin as a part of a
functional group you are familiar with and how it is synthesized. Create a reaction
scheme starting with the single molecule containing an aldehyde and alcohol. Show
the structure of the intermediate formed and the subsequent reaction with the
additional alcohol to create the final product shown above (use the R abbreviation
to indicate the rest of Doxorubicin when needed).
• Doxorubicin is able to inhibit the enzyme topoisomerase and DNA replication by
disrupting the intermolecular bonds that hold the 2 strands of DNA together (a
process called "intercalation"). What 3 potential types of intermolecular forces
could Doxorubicin create with the strands of DNA and give an example of a
functional group present on Doxorubicin that could create that intermolecular
bond?
