Question
Chapter 27, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The structure of 5-Fluorouracil has to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The compound 5-fluorouracil is used in the chemotherapy of breast-cancer. Uracil belongs to the class of pyrimidines. It is a nucleobase commonly found in RNA.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 15P
Solution:
The structure of 5-fluorouracil is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of uracil is shown below.
If a fluoro substituent is attached to the fifth position of the uracil ring, then the structure obtained is called 5-fluorouracil. The structure of 5-fluorouracil is shown below.
Conclusion
In the structure of 5-Fluorouracil, a fluoro substituent is attached to the fifth position of the uracil ring.

Locate all stereocenters in atropine. Account for the fact that atropine is almost insoluble in water (1 g in 455 mL of cold water) but atropine hydrogen sulfate is very soluble (1 g in 5 mL of cold water). Account for the fact that a dilute aqueous solution of atropine is basic (pH approximately 10.0).arrow_forward
