tsuwal said:SN1 in both, right? what do i Do next?
tsuwal said:with Ethyl iodide the reaction is SN1 because the reaction is given in two steps: first neutralization and then nucleophic substitution.
with 2-iodopropane i thought it was the same. is it as strong as Ethyl iodide as a nucleophyle?
tsuwal said:the hydrogen of the hydroxyl group neutralizes the OH- from NaOH to form water. The oxygen in acetaminophen becomes negative and a good nuclephyle and attacks the iodine in Ethyl iodide or 2-iodopropane. Now that I think of, it is a SN2 reaction, at least with ethyl iodine. What next?
tsuwal said:the rate of a SN2 reaction depends on how stong the nucleophyl is, right? does it depend on the substrate, eletrophyl? Well, if it depends on the eletrophyl, with 2-iodopropane there is more stereochemical repulsion, so, is it slower with 2-iodopropane?
Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, is a commonly used medication for pain and fever relief. It is a white, crystalline compound and is often found in over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol.
Phenacetin is a compound that was previously used as a pain reliever and fever reducer, but has been banned in many countries due to its potential to cause kidney damage and cancer. It is a white, crystalline powder and is similar in structure to acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen and phenacetin are both analgesic and antipyretic compounds, meaning they can relieve pain and reduce fever. They are also similar in chemical structure and share a common intermediate in their synthesis pathway.
Phenacetin was banned in many countries due to its potential to cause kidney damage and cancer. It was found to be toxic to the kidneys and could lead to a condition called nephropathy, which can be fatal. It was also classified as a possible carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
The potential side effects of acetaminophen include liver damage, especially when taken in high doses. Phenacetin, on the other hand, can cause kidney damage and cancer. Both compounds can also cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
