(a)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of atenolol has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Esterification: Esterification reaction is the reaction of acid react with excess of alcohol in the presence of either acid or base catalyst to forms an ester.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason is to be explained for the amination of ester rather than acid chloride to ester.
(c)
Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomer’s has to be shown if the product is chiral.
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.

- Explain why all classes of low molecular weight amines are water soluble. O Low molecular weight amines are basic enough to form alkylammonium cations in water. Once such cation is formed, the solubility of amine drastically increases. O The polarity of low molecular weight amines is much greater than that of water, thus allowing the molecules of these amines to be freely distributed among molecules of water. O Low molecular weight amines are gases at STP and gases usually have high solubility in water. All amines can form hydrogen bonds with water. Low molecular weight amines have small aliphatic portions, thus the hydrogen bonds to water are strong enough to allow the amines toarrow_forwardTreatment of pentanedioic (glutaric) anhydride with ammonia at elevated temperature leads to a compound of molecular formula C5H7NO2.

OH AYA Но B-Estradiol In recent years, chemists have focused on designing and synthesizing molecules that bind to estrogen receptors. One target of this research has been nonsteroidal estrogen antagonists, compounds that interact with estrogen receptors and block the effects of both endogenous and exogenous estrogens. A feature common to one type of nonste- roidal estrogen antagonist is the presence of a 1,2-diphenylethylene with one of the benzene rings bearing a dialkylaminoethoxyl substituent. The first nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist of this type to achieve clinical importance was tamoxifen, now an important drug in the treatment of breast cancer.
