Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 57P
The structure of montelukast, an antiasthma drug, is shown here.
Use Table
to identify the most acidic and most basic sites in the molecule.
(Although you won’t find an exact match in structure, make a prediction based on
analogy with similar groups in simpler molecules.)
Write the structure of the product formed by treating montelukast with one equivalent
of sodium hydroxide.
Write the structure of the product formed by treating montelukast with one equivalent
of HCl.

Rank the following compounds in terms of increasing acidity (least acidic first). Explain your ranking. Making sure to say which hydrogen in each molecule is the most acidic, and discuss the relative stability of the conjugate bases.
Rank the following compounds in order of increasing acidity (1 = least acidic, 3 = most acidic) and in the space provided use resonance (of the conjugate base) to explain why the compound you have labelled “3” is the most acidic.
4. The pk, of vanillin is about 9, which is much more acidic than a normal alcohol. Draw a
reaction showing the deprotonation of vanillin with NaOH, and then draw six resonance
structures of the conjugate base. Draw the hybrid structure and clearly indicate how the
negative charge is distributed in the compound.
