(a)
Interpretation:
The designation diphenyhydramine
Concept Introduction:
Reaction between Acid and Base: When an acid reacts with the base
(b)
Interpretation:
The acid base reaction for the given compound preparation and the nature of the solution obtained from dissolution of given compound in water should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Reaction between Acid and Base: When an acid reacts with the base
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.

- Propanamide and methyl acetate have about the same molar mass, both are quite soluble in water, and yet the boiling point of propanamide is 486 K, whereas that of methyl acetate is 330 K. Explain.arrow_forwardb) Determine which ionization state corresponds to aspartic acid (shown below) at pH 1, 7, and 10 by selecting the most suitable answer from the statements i-iv. The pK of the amine, carboxylic acid, and side chain of aspartic acid are 9.6, 1.88 and 3.65, respectively. ОН ÓH ÑH2 i) the amine is charged; the carboxylic acids are neutral. ii) the amine and carboxylic acids are all charged. iii) the amine is neutral, and the carboxylic acids are charged. iv) the amine and the carboxylic acids are all neutral. pH Statement (i, ii, iii, or iv) 1 7 10 %3Darrow_forwardEnalapril is an anti-hypertension “pro-drug” (i.e., a drug precursor) that isinactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid (“enalaprilat”) that results from this hydrolysis reaction.(a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be administered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill but enalaprilat does not? (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-convertingenzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptideangiotensin I. ACE has a KM = 52 μM for angiotensin I, which is presentin plasma at a concentration of 75 μM. When enalaprilat is presentat 2.4 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 10% of its uninhibitedactivity. What is the value of K1 for enalaprilat?arrow_forward
- A decapeptide has the following acid composition; Al2,Arg,Cys,Glu,Leu,Phe,Val Partial hydrolysis yield the following tripeptides; Cys-Glu-Leu+Gly-Arg-Cys+Leu-Ala-Ala+Lys-Val-Phe-Gly Reaction of the decapeptide with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene yields 2,4-dinitrophenylysine. From the experimental data, deduce the primary structure of the decapeptide. Suggest a scheme you will follow to synthesize the dipeptide Ala-Gly.arrow_forwardThe linear tripeptides are formed from the following three amino acids as the starting materials in the condensation reaction. Select the correct statement: (a) There are 27 possible tripeptides and among them, 13 tripeptides are optically active. (b) There are 26 possible tripeptides and all are optically active. (c) There are 27 possible tripeptides and among them, 26 tripeptides are optically active. (d) There are 26 possible tripeptides and among them, 15 tripeptides are optically active.arrow_forwardEnalapril is an anti-hypertension "prodrug" (i.e, a drug precursor) that is inactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid ("enalaprilat") that results from this hydrolysis reaction. (a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be administered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill, but enalaprilat does not? EtOOC -NH CH3 HOOC Enalapril (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin. ACE has a KM = 12 µM for angiotensin, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 75 µM. When enalaprilat is present at 2.4 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 10% of its uninhib- ited activity. What is the value of K; for enalaprilat?arrow_forward
- If Taxol (see Problem ) has a specific rotation of -49°, then what is the specific rotation of its enantiomer?arrow_forwardWhy should phenylketonurics avoid using aspartame, an artificial sweetener? (Hint: Aspartame is Laspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester.)arrow_forwardPepto-Bismol, an antacid and antidiarrheal, contains bismuth subsalicylate, C7H5BiO4. Some users of this product can experience a condition known as “black tongue,” which is caused by the reaction of bismuth(III) ions with traceamounts of S2- in saliva to form a black precipitate. Write the balanced net ionic equation for this precipitation reaction.arrow_forward
