Neurotransmitters are small molecules that are produced by the body to send messages from one neuron to another. Noradrenaline(also called norepinephrine) and serotonin are neurotransmitters that act in the central nervous system. A synthetic compound calledPMPEA has effects that are similar to both noradrenaline and serotonin in the spinal cord. (Tetrahedron Lett. 2011, 52, 4182-4185.)Deduce the structure of PMPEA, given its molecular formula (C9H13NO) and the following 1H NMR spectral data:1.1 ppm (2H, broad singlet)2.7 ppm (2H, triplet)2.9 ppm (2H, triplet)3.8 ppm (3H, singlet)6.8 ppm (2H, doublet)7.1 ppm (2H, doublet)Draw Your Solution

Alkaloids are basic nitrogen-containing compounds of plant origin, many of which are physiologically active when administered to humans. Ingestion of coniine, isolated from water hemlock, can cause weakness, labored respiration, paralysis, and eventually death. Coniine is the toxic substance in the “poison hemlock” used in the death of Socrates. In small doses, nicotine is an addictive stimulant. In larger doses, it causes depression, nausea, and vomiting. In still larger doses, it is a deadly poison. Solutions of nicotine in water are used as insecticides. Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant obtained from the leaves of the coca plant.Classify each amino group in these alkaloids according to type (primary, secondary, tertiary, aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic).

Cocaine (C17H21O4N) is a natural substance found in the leaves of the coca plant, which has been used for centuries as a local anesthetic and stimulant. Illegal cocaine arrives in the USA either as a pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt (C17H21O4NHCl). At 25oC, the salt is very soluble in water (2.50 kg/L), but pure cocaine is much less so (1.70 g/L). What is the maximum amount of salt (in gram) that can dissolve in 50.0 mL of water? [1 mark.] When a 25 mL aqueous solution that contains 62.50 g of the salt is treated with NaOH, the salt is converted to pure cocaine. How much water (in liters) is needed additionally to dissolve the formed pure cocaine? Round your final answer off to two decimal points. C17H21O4NHCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → C17H21O4N(aq) + H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

(c) What is the molecular formula of acetaminophen? (d) Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are all believed to target the same enzyme, cyclooxygenase, which produces substances called prostaglandins, that mediate inflammation. Discuss in the structures of these drugs. any similarities
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is made by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride [(CH3CO)2O]: C7H6O3(s)+ (CH3CO)2O(l) → C9H8O4(s) + CH3COOH(l) In one preparation, 3.077 g of salicylic acid and 5.50 mL of acetic anhydride react to form 3.281 g of aspirin. (a) Which is the limiting reactant (d of acetic anhydride = 1.080 g/mL)? (b) What is the percent yield of this reaction? (c) What is the percent atom economy of this reaction?

Certain amount of pure charcoal (carbon) has to be burnt with supplied natural air. Process engineer allowed exact amount of air required to burn the entire charcoal completely to carbon dioxide. Carbon has no reaction with nitrogen gas present in the air. In the reaction outlet if 5 kg of nitrogen gas was found, calculate the amount of charcoal used. (12C, 16O, 14N)

3) A 28 yr old woman is newly sober for the past 3 months after completing an intensive outpatient recovery program. She wants to hang out with her co-workers at happy hour in a local club. She is anxious but goes out with them and orders a soda. She feels good that she was able to go out and not have an alcoholic drink. The following week the same scenario plays out without her having an alcoholic beverage. Is she on the path to staying sober or on the road to relapse? Why?
