Chapter 22, Problem 22.62P
A newer generation of antipsychotics, among them clozapine, are now used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia. These drugs are more effective than earlier drugs in improving patient response in the areas of social withdrawal, apathy, memory, comprehension, and judgment. They also produce fewer side effects such as seizures and tardive dyskinesia (involuntary body movements). In the following synthesis of clozapine, Step 1 is an Ullmann coupling, a type of nucleophilic
- (a) Show how you might bring about formation of the amide in Step 2.
- (b) Propose a reagent for Step 3.
- (c) Propose a mechanism for Step 4.
- (d) Is clozapine chiral? If so, how many of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?

Amantadine is effective in preventing infections caused by the influenza A virus and in
treating established illnesses. It is thought to block a late stage in the assembly of the
virus. Amantadine is synthesized by treating 1-bromoadamantane with acetonitrile in
sulfuric acid to give N-adamantylacetamide, which is then converted to amantadine.

Primary amines add to aldehydes and ketones to give imines. Imines are formed in a reversible, acid-catalyzed process that begins with nucleophilic addition of the primary amine to the carbonyl
group, followed by transfer of the proton to yield a neutral carbinolamine. Protonation of the hydroxyl group converts it into a good leaving group and an E1-like loss of water yields an iminium ion.
Deprotonation yields the product imine and regenerates the acid catalyst.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
