Question

Taxol (see structure below) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent (isolated from the Pacific Yew tree) which is especially effective against ovarian cancer. Which of the following functional groups is not contained in Taxol? A. Ketone B. Ester C. Amide D. Amine E. Alcohol Which of the following structures contain the sec-butyl group? Select the reagents necessary to convert cyclopentane into cyclopentane. A. H-2 and Ni B. H_2 O C. Heat D. Zn. H_3 O^- E. Light Select the reagents necessary to convert 3-bromohexane into hexane. A. H_3 O^- B. Cul C. H_2 O D. Zn. H_3 O^- E. OH Arrange the following hydrocarbons in order of increasing boiling point. I. pentane II. 2.2-dimethylpropane III. 2-methylbutane A. I

Explanation / Answer

From the given structure, taxol has 3 aromatic rings (cyclic 6 membered rings with conjugated double bonds ), 1 secondary amine (-NH- , both sides are attached to C atoms), 2 ketones (-CO-, both sides are attached to C atoms), 4 esters( -COOR, both sides are attached C atoms), 3 alcohol (-OH), and 5 ether (R-O-R, both sides are attached to C) groups.

Among the options, an amide group (-(CO)NH2 ) is there, which is absent on taxol.
