Answer

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Amide

The compounds that consist of a carbonyl compound bonded to an amine group (CONH2) are called amides.

02

Classification of amides

Amides are classified as:

  • Primary amides : The carbonyl group is connected to a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms -CONH2.
  • Secondary amides : The carbonyl group is connected to the nitrogen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom and a hydrocarbon -CONHR.
  • Tertiary amides : The carbonyl group is connected to the nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrocarbon groups -CONRR' .
03

Classification of amides present in oxytocin

The primary, secondary, and tertiary amides are indicated in the image given below.

Explain why metal hydride reduction gives an endo alcohol as the major product in one reaction given below and an exo alcohol as the major product in the other reaction.

stereochemistry of the products of reduction depends on the reagent used,as you learned in Sections 20.5 and 20.6. With this in mind, how would you convert3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one [CH3COC(CH3)3] to: (a) racemic 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol[CH3CH(OH)C (CH3)3] ;(b) only (R)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol; (c) only (S)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol?

Question: Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.

Oct-1-yne (HCCCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3) reacts rapidly with NaH, forming a gas that bubbles out of the reaction mixture, as one product. Oct-1-yne also reacts rapidly with CH3MgBr , and a different gas is produced. Write balanced equations for both reactions and identify the gases formed.
