Macrolide antibiotics all have large rings (macrocycle) in which an ester makes the ring; a cyclic ester is termed a lactone. One example is erythromycin A, first isolated from soil bacteria in the 1950鈥檚. Over time, some pathogenic bacteria have developed resistance to erythromycin by evolving an enzymatic mechanism to cleave the macrocycle at the ketone. To counter this resistance, chemists modified the erythromycin structure to replace the ketone with an amine that the bacteria could not detoxify. This modified antibiotic, azithromycin, trade name Zithromax庐, is one of the most prescribed drugs in the world for respiratory infections.
(a) Identify the lactone group in each structure that merits the classification as macrolides.
(b) Two groups are circled. What type of functional group are they? Explain
(c) Identify the ketone in erythromycin targeted by bacteria as the site for detoxification.
(d) Identify the amine in azithromycin. What type of amine is it?
(e) From what you know about the reactivity of ketones and amines, why was an amine a good choice to be the 鈥渃hemical opposite of a ketone鈥?
Give the products expected from the following reactions:
(a) acetyl chloride + ethylamine
(b) benzoyl chloride +dimethylamine
(c) hexanoyl chloride + piperidine
Propose a mechanism for nitration of pyridine at the 4-position, and show why this orientation is not observed.
Show how you would accomplish the following synthetic conversions.
(a) benzyl bromide to benzylamine
(b) 1-bromo-2-phenylethane to 3-phenylpropan-1-amine
(c) pentanoic acid to pentan-1-amine
(d) pentanoic acid to hexan-1-amine
(e) (R)-2-bromobutane to (S)-butan-2-amine
(f) (R)-2-bromobutane to (S)-2-methylbutan-1-amine
(g) hexan-2-one to 1-amino-2-methylhexan-2-ol
(a) Show how fragmentation occurs to give the base peak at m/z 58 in the mass spectrum of ethyl propyl amine (N-ethylpropan-1-amine), shown below.
(b) Show how a similar cleavage in the ethyl group gives an ion of m/z72.
(c) Explain why the peak at m/z 72 is much weaker than the one at m/z 58.
