Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.
In the 1880's, Acetanilide, sold under the name Antifebrin, was widely used as a pain reliever and fever reducer. However, it had
many adverse side effects, including cyanosis as a result of methemoglobinemia. The toxic side effects were the result of a small
portion of acetanilide being hydrolyzed to aniline. Acetanilide was discontinued and replaced with phenacetin. Later studies show
that both acetanilide and phenacetin are metabolized to acetaminophen. This metabolite, which we know as Tylenol, is responsible
for the analgesic and antipyretic properties.
Part 1: Show a detailed arrow pushing mechanism of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of acetanilide to aniline

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

Discuss the differences among the following compounds by drawing their structures: Acetylsalicylic acid, Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Phenacetin.arrow_forwardAspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid, widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. Salicylic acid, whose name comes from Salix, the willow family of plants, was derived from willow bark extracts. In folk medicine, willow bark teas were used as headache remedies and other tonics. Nowadays, salicylic acid is administered in the form of aspirin which is less irritating to the stomach than salicylic acid. To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride. A small amount of a strong acid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. In this experiment, phosphoric acid will be used as the catalyst. The excess acetic acid will be quenched with the addition of water. The aspirin product is not very soluble in water so the aspirin product will precipitate when water is added. The synthesis reaction of aspirin is shown below: Actic anhydride 5 ml.
