Although codeine occurs in low concentration in the opium poppy, most of the codeine used in medicine is prepared from
morphine (the principal component of opium) by the following reaction. Explain why selective methylation occurs at only one
OH in morphine to give codeine. Codeine is a less potent and less addictive analgesic than morphine.

The following intermediate was needed for the synthesis of tamoxifen, a widely used
antiestrogen drug for treating estrogen-dependent cancers such as breast and ovarian
cancer.

(A)
synthesis of tamoxifen
Propose a synthesis for this intermediate from compound A.
Why does cyclohexanol have a pK, of 18 and phenol, despite its similarities
in structure, have a pK, of 10?
Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which increases the stability of
the base and favors its formation
Cycohexanol has a resonance-stabilized structure, which increases its stability and
reduces the likelihood that it will react to form a conjugate base
Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which decreases the stability of
the base and inhibits its formation
Cycohexanol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which increases the
stability of the base and favors its formation
Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which decreases the stability of
the base and favors its formation
