One frequently used method for preparing methyl esters is by reaction of carboxylic acids with diazomethane, CH2N2. The reaction occurs in two steps: (l) protonation of diazomethane by the carboxylic acid to yield methyldiazonium ion, CH3N2+, plus a carboxylate ion; and (2) reaction of the carboxylate ion with CH3N2+. (a) Draw two resonance structures of diazomethane, and account for step 1. (b) What kind of reaction occurs in step 2?

As far back as the 16th century, South American Incas chewed the leaves of the coca bush, Erythroxylon coca, to combat fatigue. Chemical studies of Erythroxylon coca by Friedrich WĂ¶hler in 1862 resulted in the discovery of cocaine, C17H21NO4, as the active component. Basic hydrolysis of cocaine leads to methanol, benzoic acid, and another compound called ecgonine, C9H15NO3. Oxidation of ecgonine with CrO3 yields a keto acid that readily loses CO2 on heating, giving tropinone. (a) What is a likely structure for the keto acid? (b) What is a likely structure for ecgonine, neglecting stereochemistry? (c) What is a likely structure for cocaine, neglecting stereochemistry?

We have seen two methods for converting a carboxylic acid and an amine into an am- ide. Suppose that you start instead with a dicarboxylic acid such as hexanedioic acid and a diamine such as 1,6-hexanediamine. Show how amide formation in this case can lead to a polymer (a macromolecule of molecular weight several thousands times that of the starting materials). HO H,N. NH, Nylon 66 + HO Hexanedioic acid 1,6-Hexanediamine (Adipic acid) (Hexamethylenediamine) the material produced in this reaction is the high- molecular-weight poiymer nylon 66, so named because it is synthesized from two 6-carbon starting materials.
