Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The conversion of estrone to ethynylestradiol by the use of protecting group is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Ketones on reaction with Grignard reagent (RMgX) converts into tertiary alcohol whereas aldehydes on reaction with Grignard reagent convert into primary or secondary alcohol. However, Grignard reagent can react with other functional groups also during reaction.

What carboxylic acid and amine are needed to synthesize the pain reliever phenacetin? Phenacetin was once a component of the over-the-counter pain reliever APC (aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine), but it is no longer used because of its kidney toxicity.
Describe how mescaline can be synthesized from benzene.
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.
