Interpretation:
Given amine has to be classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary amine.
Concept introduction:
In chemistry Structure is the arrangement of
Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the amide, different types of amides can form.
(b)
Interpretation:
Similarities and differences between the structural formulas of (R)-epinephrine and (R)-albuterol has to be compared
Concept introduction:
In chemistry Structure is the arrangement of chemical bonds between atoms in a molecule, specifically which atoms are chemically bonded to what other atoms with what kind of chemical bond.
Amines are the derivatives of ammonia
Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the amide, different types of amides can form.

- Rank the nitrogen atoms in each compound in order of increasing basicity. Isoniazid is a drug used to treat tuberculosis, whereas histamine (Section 25.6B) causes the runny nose and watery eyes associated with allergies.arrow_forwardIn the mid-1930s a substance was isolated from a fungus that is a parasite of ryes and other grasses. This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind. Many derivatives of lysergic acid are known, some with medicinal applications. Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD): మగవా జి N-H LSD (CH25N;O) Like other alkaloids, LSD is a weak base, with Kp = 7.6 × 107. What is the pH of a 0.94 M solution of LSD? pH =arrow_forwardDexamethasone is a halogen-containing steroid used to treat infl ammation in rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions. (a) Classify the alkyl halide in dexamethasone as 1 °, 2 °, or 3 °. (b) Classify the hydroxyl groups as 1 °, 2 °, or 3 °.arrow_forward
- Determine the hybridization around the N atom in each amine, andexplain why cyclohexanamine is 106 times more basic than aniline.arrow_forwardBile salts are derivative of cholestrol. However, the solubilities of these compounds in water are drastically different; cholestrol is highly hydrophobic, and the bile salts are soluble in digestive juices. Explain the differences.arrow_forwardA tertiary amine is more basic compared to a secondary amine. (A) True B Falsearrow_forward
- 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.

(b) What product is formed when varenicline is treated with HCl?arrow_forwardThe –NHCOR group of an amide is an activating group, but it is not as strongly activating as NH2. (a) Explain why it is an activating group. (b) Explain why it is less activating than NH2.arrow_forward

Since y-butyrolactone is more fat soluble than GHB, it is more readily absorbed by tissues and thus produces a faster onset of physiological symptoms. y-Butyrolactone shows an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following 1H NMR spectral data: 2.28 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.48 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.35 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of y-butyrolactone?arrow_forwardWhich of the amines listed next is resolved into enantiomers? In each case, explain whyinterconversion of the enantiomers does or does not take place.(a) cis-2-methylcyclohexanaminearrow_forward
