Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The starting materials needed to prepare the given drug using reductive amination are to be determined.

Concept introduction: The conversion of aldehydes and ketones into amines is known as reductive amination. The first step is the formation of imines using aldehydes or ketones and amines. The second step involves the reduction of imine to form amine. The best reagent for this reaction is sodiumcyanoborohydride.

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 Part 2: Propose a synthesis of Acetaminophen from phenol NH NH NH Phenacetin inophen Acetanilide Attach File Browse Local Files Browse Content Collection
