Chapter 11, Problem 11.47P
During the synthesis of the antiasthmatic drug montelukast (Singulair), a silyl ether protecting group is used to mask the reactivity of an OH group. The silyl group chosen is the tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) group. Draw the product of the following transformation, assuming the TBS-Cl reagent reacts only once with the starting material. Briefly explain your answer.

1 The reaction of an a-diketone with concentrated sodium or potassium hydroxide
to give the salt of an a-hydroxyacid is given the general name benzil-benzilic acid
rearrangement. It is illustrated by the conversion of benzil to sodium benzilate and then
to benzilic acid. Propose a mechanism for this rearrangement.

Phenyl 4-aminosalicylate is a drug used in the treatment of tuberculosis. Propose a synthetic route for this compound starting from 4-nitrosalicylic acid. The synthesis involves multiple steps. Specify all the reagents and the reaction conditions it may require in each step.
p-toluic acid is prepared from 3.42 grams of p-Bromotoluene. When p-Bromotoluene was mixed with dry ether, the mixture was warmed until the ether begins to boil (34.6 °C). When the reaction is almost complete, dry ice (3-4 mL in a beaker) was prepared and the mixture was poured into it. After some time, 5 mL of 6 N HCl was added. The solvent used for the recrystallization is 100 mL of 30% ethanol. The reaction equation is given on the figure.

- A newer generation of antipsychotics, among them clozapine, are now used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia. These drugs are more effective than earlier drugs in improving patient response in the areas of social withdrawal, apathy, memory, comprehension, and judgment. They also produce fewer side effects such as seizures and tardive dyskinesia (involuntary body movements). In the following synthesis of clozapine, Step 1 is an Ullmann coupling, a type of nucleophilic aromatic substitution that uses a copper catalyst. (a) Show how you might bring about formation of the amide in Step 2. (b) Propose a reagent for Step 3. (c) Propose a mechanism for Step 4. (d) Is clozapine chiral?
