Chapter 17.8, Problem BQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The correct sterochemical descriptor for the substitution pattern of the cyclopropane ring in permethrin and bifentrin has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Cis compounds are the geometrical isomers with the organic groups on the same side of the double bond.

The double bond of alkenes form a rigid structure around which the atoms cannot rotate as in alkenes. This leads to a form of isomerism referred to as cis-trans isomers.

In a cis isomer, groups are attached on the same side of the double bond while in the Trans isomer the groups are attached on the opposite sides.

Simple representation of cis and Trans isomer is as follows,

Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid, widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. Salicylic acid, whose name comes from Salix, the willow family of plants, was derived from willow bark extracts. In folk medicine, willow bark teas were used as headache remedies and other tonics. Nowadays, salicylic acid is administered in the form of aspirin which is less irritating to the stomach than salicylic acid. To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride. A small amount of a strong acid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. In this experiment, phosphoric acid will be used as the catalyst. The excess acetic acid will be quenched with the addition of water. The aspirin product is not very soluble in water so the aspirin product will precipitate when water is added. The synthesis reaction of aspirin is shown below: Actic anhydride 5 ml. Acetic acid Salicylic acid 28 Acetylsalicylie acid Procedure 1) Mix salicylic…
Enanthotoxin is an extremely poisonous organic compound found in hemlock water drop- wart, which is reputed to be the most poisonous plant in England. It is believed that no British plant has been responsible for more fatal accidents. The most poisonous part of the plant is the roots, which resemble small white carrots, giving the plant the name"five finger death."Also poisonous are its leaves, which look like parsley. Enanthotoxin is thought to interfere with the Nat current in nerve cells, which leads to convulsions and death. он How many stereoisomers are possible for enanthotoxin?
