- 1. Why is acetanilide no longer available as a drug in the market? 2. Why is the synthesis of acetanilide still relevant? 3. Can acetanilide be re-offered to market again?arrow_forwardDraw the major product formed by treating each amine with excess CH3I, followed by Ag,0, and then heat. -CH,CHCH3 NH2 а. b. C. H2Narrow_forwardWhy can you not use this reaction to make a secondary amine? a) Alkyl halides are weak electrophiles.b) Primary amines are weak nucleophiles.c) The primary amine is too nucleophilic, so over-reaction will occur.d) The secondary amine product is more nucleophilic than the primary amine reactant, so over-reaction will occur.arrow_forward
- Why is there a need to add two (2) equivalents of amine in the reaction of an acid chloride and an amine ? A) The extra amine will deprotonate the amine or alcohol, making it a better nucleophile. B) The extra amine will neutralize the acid by-product of the reaction. C) The extra amine will protonate the carbonyl of the acid chloride, making it more reactive. D) The extra amine will absorb the heat of the reaction.arrow_forwardWhat products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds are hydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating inuenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the articial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products ofthis 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 identied early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.arrow_forwardWhy is methyl salicylate so easily absorbed through the skin?arrow_forward
