If propionyl chloride is added to one equivalent of methylamine, only a 50% yield of N-methylpropanamide is obtained. If, however, the acyl chloride is added to two equivalents of methylamine, the yield of N-methylpropanamide is almost 100%. Explain these observations.

Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.
In the 1880's, Acetanilide, sold under the name Antifebrin, was widely used as a pain reliever and fever reducer. However, it had many adverse side effects, including cyanosis as a result of methemoglobinemia. The toxic side effects were the result of a small portion of acetanilide being hydrolyzed to aniline. Acetanilide was discontinued and replaced with phenacetin. Later studies show that both acetanilide and phenacetin are metabolized to acetaminophen. This metabolite, which we know as Tylenol, is responsible for the analgesic and antipyretic properties.

What products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds arehydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiflu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating influenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the artificial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products of this hydrolysis reaction is the amino acid phenylalanine. Infants afflicted with phenylketonuria cannot metabolize this amino acid, so it accumulates, causing mental retardation. When the affliction is identified early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.
Indicate whether the following statement is true or false. Aliphatic amines are more basic than ammonia, whereas aromatic amines are less basic than ammonia. When amines are reacted with bases, they form ammonium salts. Benzenesulfonyl chloride or p-toluenesulfonylchloride give N-substituted sulfonamides with primary and secondary amines. Derivative of primary amines is insoluble in dilute NaOH

Why do you wash the dichloromethane solution of your reductive amination product with sodium bicarbonate, rather than dilute aqueous HCl? a) Sodium bicarbonate is a good method of removing aldehydes from organic solvent.b) The amine product will be protonated by acid and remain in the aqueous layer as a salt.c) Sodium bicarbonate transfers the amine starting material into the aqueous layer.d) Sodium bicarbonate reacts with leftover NaBH(OAc)3 and removes it from the mixture.

Explain, giving equations for any relevant reactions.
