Show how you would accomplish the following synthetic transformations. You may use any necessary reagents.(a)N-ethylbenzamide→benzylethylamine

Short Answer

Expert verified

Synthetic transformation for N-ethylbenzamide to benzylethylamine is show as,

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Use of  LiAIH4reagent

LiAIH4is a strong reducing agent for polar double bonds, as it easily thought of as a source of H− . It will reduce aldehydes, ketones,esters, carboxylic acid chloride, carboxylic acids and even carboxylate salts to alcohols.


LiAIH4is also reduce the amide and nitriles to amine, In above reaction amide is reduce to amine.

02

Synthesis of benzylethylamine from N-ethylbenzamide

When N-ethylbenzamide react withLiAIH4andH2Othen there is a formation of benzylethylamine, in this reaction carbonyl group are direct reduce to alkane.

Show how you would accomplish the following syntheses using amides as intermediates.

You may use any necessary reagents.

(a)benzoicacid→benzyldimethylamine

Macrolide antibiotics, including erythromycin and azithromycin (), contain a large ring lactone. One of the largest ever reported is Gargantulide A, the structure of which was determined by the research group of Prof. William Gerwick of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Organic Letters, 2015, 17, 1377–1380). Isolated from a Streptomyces bacterium, it kills pathogenic bacteria like MRSA and Clostridium difficile, but it proved too toxic to the test animals to continue further testing.

(a) Identify the lactone that makes this a macrolide structure.

(b) How many rings does this structure contain? How many atoms are in the largest ring?

(c) Many complex NMR experiments were used to determine the stereochemistry of most, but not all, of the chiral centers. How many chiral centers does the structure contain?

Show how you would synthesize the following esters from appropriate acyl chlorides and alcohols.

(a) ethyl propionate

(b)phenyl 3-methylhexanoate

(c)benzyl benzoate

(d)cyclopropyl cyclohexanecarboxylate

(e)tert-butyl acetate

(f) diallyl succinate
