(a)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of carbinoxamine has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
The Grignard reaction:
Alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides (
Grignard reagent is reaction with carbonyl compound such as
(b)
Interpretation:
The chirality of Carbinoxamine is to be identified and the possible stereoisomers has to be identified in the given synthesis.
Concept introduction:
Chiral:
A molecule is non superimposable on its mirror image is called chiral molecule.
Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom is called chiral molecule.
Isomer:
A molecule having the same molecular formula but with different chemical structure is called isomer.
Stereoisomers:
Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
Enantiomers:
A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers:
A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called diastereomers.
Racemic mixture:
A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer.

- The two most general amine syntheses are the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds and the reduction of amides.Show how these techniques can be used to accomplish the following syntheses.(a) benzoic acid S benzylamine (b) benzaldehyde S benzylamine(c) pyrrolidine S N@ethylpyrrolidine (d) cyclohexanone S N@cyclohexylpyrrolidine(e) HOOC¬(CH2)3 ¬COOH S pentane@1,5@diamine (cadaverine)arrow_forwardMustard gas, Cl¬CH2CH2¬S¬CH2CH2¬Cl, was used as a poisonous chemical agentin World War I. Mustard gas is much more toxic than a typical primary alkyl chloride. Itstoxicity stems from its ability to alkylate amino groups on important metabolic enzymes,rendering the enzymes inactive.(a) Propose a mechanism to explain why mustard gas is an exceptionally potent alkylatingagentarrow_forwardThe following three derivatives of succinimide are anticonvulsants that have found use in the treatment of epilepsy, particularly petit mal seizures.

- The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of formation of an enamine from a ketone, Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone. Consider the Stork reaction between acetophenone and 3-buten-2-one. Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between acetophenone and pyrrolidine. Draw the structure of the Michael addition product. Draw the structure of the final product.arrow_forwardProvide reagentsarrow_forwardQuinapril (trade name Accupril) is used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.
