Interpretation: The synthesis of ethchlorvynol from acetylene and a carbonyl compound is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The synthesis of compound relies upon the type of reactants and reagents that are used during the reactions, if the acetylene is starting material, then the mechanism proceeds through the abstraction of hydrogen from acetylene due to acidic nature of terminal hydrogen.
The reagents perform numerous functions in reactions like proton abstraction, oxidation, reduction, catalysis, and dehydrogenation.
Ethchlorvynol is a drug prepared from acetylene and carbonyl compound to treat insomnia.
To determine: The synthesis of ethchlorvynol from acetylene and a carbonyl compound.

- b) The Wolf-Kishner reduction is a reaction used in Organic Chemistry to convert carbonyl functionalities into methylene group. The reaction was used to convert an aldehyde or ketone to an alkane using hydrazine, base and thermal conditions. The mechanism begins with the attack of hydrazine of the aldehyde or ketone. Stage 1: The reaction of aldehyde/ketone with hydrazine to produce hydrazine Stage 2: Reaction with the base and heat to convert hydrozone to alkane Write the mechanism of the reaction.arrow_forwardWrite the mechanism for the following reactions: 1. the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an imine to a carbonyl compound and a primary amine 2. the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an enamine to a carbonyl compound and a secondary amine a.

- Cancer of the prostate is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American males, exceeded only by lung cancer. One treatment of prostate cancer is based on the fact that testosterone and androsterone (both androgens) enhance the proliferation of prostate tumors. The drug flutamide (an antiandrogen) reduces the level of androgens in target tissues and is currently used to prevent and treat prostate cancer.Propose a synthesis of flutamide from trifluoromethylbenzenearrow_forwardThe following compound may be synthesized through alkylation of an appropriate enamine with an alkyl bromide, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting immonium ion.

- In 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.
