Etoposide, sold as a phosphate derivative with the trade name ofEtopophos, is used for the treatment of lung cancer, testicular cancer,and lymphomas. What products are formed when all of the acetals are hydrolyzed with aqueous acid?
Although γ-butyrolactone is a biologically inactive compound, it isconverted in the body to 4-hydroxybutanoic acid (GHB), an addictive andintoxicating recreational drug. Draw a stepwise mechanism for thisconversion in the presence of acid.
What products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds are hydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating inuenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the articial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products ofthis hydrolysis reaction is the amino acid phenylalanine. Infants afflicted with phenylketonuria cannot metabolize this amino acid, so it accumulates, causing mental retardation. When the affliction is identied early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.
