Question
Chapter 20, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: An explanation for the much more reactivity of imidazolides than other amides in nucleophilic acyl substitution is to be explained.
Concept introduction: Imidazolide are class of heterocyclic compounds containing two nitrogen atoms in a ring and a carbonyl group. An imidazolide form an imidazole ring as the leaving group, when it undergoes nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction.

Explain why a secondary amine forms a nitrosamine rather than a diazonium ion when it reacts with a nitrosonium ion.
Write the mechanism for the following reactions:
1. the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an imine to a carbonyl compound and a primary amine
2. the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an enamine to a carbonyl compound and a secondary amine a. How do the two mechanisms differ?
What 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.
