Question

pling Albuterol is a prescription medication for treating asthma, bronchitis and symptoms associated with COPD. It functions as a Bradrenergic receptor agonist that relaxes the muscles in the airways. As a chemist, you have been consulted on how to convert albuterol to the product (oxoalbuteral) shown below for pre-clinical trials. Select the appropriate reagent from the drop-down list for this transformation. OH Select answer HO KMnO4. Heat NaBH PCC, DCM CH3COCI, AIC13. Albuterol (sold as Ventolin) Oxoalbuteral K2Cr20h, dil H2SO4

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

In the given reaction the alcohol groups are converted too the carbonyl groups. So the reagent that can be used is the PCC , DCM
