Verapamil, a coronary artery vasodilator, is used in the treatment of angina caused by insufficient blood flow to cardiac muscle. Even though its effect on coronary vasculature tone was recognized over 30 years ago, only recently has its role as a calcium channel blocker become understood. Following is a retrosynthetic analysis leading to a convergent synthesis; it is convergent because (A) and (B) are made separately and then combined (i.e., the route converges) to give the final product. Convergent syntheses are generally much more efficient than those in which the skeleton is built up stepwise.
Q. How do you account for the regioselectivity of the nucleophilic displacement involved in converting (C) to (B)?
Draw a complete arrow pushing mechanism for the specific Friedel Crafts acylation which involves the acylation of 1,3-benzodioxole using propionyl chloride as the acylating agent in the presence of zinc oxide nanoparticles as a catalyst. This reaction results in the formation of a propionylated product. The reaction is facilitated by the Lewis acid catalysis provided by zinc oxide nanoparticles.
