Although ibuprofen is sold as a racemic mixture, only the S enantiomer acts as an analgesic. In the body, however, some of the R enantiomer is converted to the S isomer by tautomerization to an enol and then protonation to regenerate the carbonyl compound. Write a stepwise mechanism for this isomerization.
An acid-base reaction of (R)-sec-butylamine with a racemic mixture of 2-phenylpropanoic acid forms two products having different melting points and somewhat different solubilities. Draw the structure of these two products. Assign R and S to any stereogenic centers in the products. How are the two products related? Choose from enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or not isomers.
Paroxetine (Paxil) is an antidepressant that is a member of a family of drugs known
as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIS). This family of drugs also includes
fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIS work by inhibiting the reuptake of
the neurotransmitter serotonin in the synapses of the central nervous system follow-
ing release of serotonin during excitation of individual nerve cells. Between firings, the
serotonin is taken back up by a nerve cell in preparation for firing again. Inhibition of
reuptake has the effect of increasing the time serotonin molecules remain in the syn-
apses following excitation, leading to a therapeutic effect. In one synthesis of parox-
etine, the following reagents are used. Draw the structures of synthetic intermediates A
and B.

- A diuretic is a compound that causes increased urination and thereby reduces fluid volume in the body. An important use of diuretics in clinical medicine is in the reduction of the fluid buildup, particularly in the lungs, that is associated with congestive heart failure. It is also used as an antihypertensive (i.e., to reduce blood pressure). Furosemide, an exceptionally potent diuretic, is prescribed under 30 or more trade names, the best known of which is Lasix. The synthesis of furosemide begins with treatment of 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid with chlorosulfonic acid in a reaction called chlorosulfonation. The product of this reaction is then treated with ammonia followed by heating with furfurylamine. Q. Is furosemide chiral?
