Question
Chapter 23.4, Problem 23.7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of pantothenic acid and its solubility in water is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A given chemical substance will be soluble in water if it is of a polar nature or is able to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules in water. The intermolecular forces which are present between the solute and the solvent are the most important factors which will determine whether a given compound is soluble or insoluble in water.

Alkaloids are basic nitrogen-containing compounds of plant origin, many of which are physiologically active when administered to humans. Ingestion of coniine, isolated from water hemlock, can cause weakness, labored respiration, paralysis, and eventually death. Coniine is the toxic substance in the “poison hemlock” used in the death of Socrates. In small doses, nicotine is an addictive stimulant. In larger doses, it causes depression, nausea, and vomiting. In still larger doses, it is a deadly poison. Solutions of nicotine in water are used as insecticides. Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant obtained from the leaves of the coca plant.Classify each amino group in these alkaloids according to type (primary, secondary, tertiary, aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic).
