The starting materials for route B are recognisable as the halide we used in frame 41 and an aldehyde easily made by a Diels-Alder reaction. The other route could also be used but the starting materials are not so readily available. Write out the complete synthesis. 

This synthetic tropidine was converted into bromodihydrotropidine by hydrogen bromide in aeetie aeid, and the solution heated with 10 per cent, sulphurie acid at 200-10°, when it passed into -tropine,and, sinee this may be partially converted into tropine by oxidation to tropinone and reduction of the latter by zinc dust and hydriodic acid, this series of reactions affords a complete synthesis of tropine and of the tropeines. Combining the formula given above for tropine with that of tropic acid, atropine and hyoscyamine are represented as follows ... 

A complete synthesis of laudanosine was effected by Pictet and Finkelstein by the condensation of omoveratrylamine (I) with homo-veratroyl chloride (II), giving omoveratroyl omoveratrylamine, which with phosphoric oxide undergoes cyclisation to 3 4-dihydropapaverine (III), which was converted into the methochloride and reduced to laudanosine (IV). 

The constitution of laudanidine was determined by Spath and Bernhauer, who showed that with diazomethane it yields Maudanosine, m.p. 87-8°, and, the reversal of this process, viz, partial demethylation of synthetic Maudanosine by Spath and Burger provided a complete synthesis of Maudanine, which is laudanidine. 

Confirmatory evidence by a complete synthesis was first provided by the preparation of oxydehydrocorydaline by Koepfli and Perkin from V -/3-veratrylethyl-3 4-dimethoxy-a-methylAomophthalamic acid (XVI) this substance was converted into the methyl ester and ring closure effected by phosphorus oxychloride to (XVII), which on heating at 150-1° underwent the second ring closure to oxydehydrocorydaline (XVIII), identical with Gadamer and von Bruchhausen s product... 

Constitution. Comparison of the empirical formula of the three alkaloids, and the fact that jatrorrhizine and columbamine each stands to palmatine in the relation of a monohydric phenol to its methyl ether, makes it clear that the only difference between jatrorrhizine and columbamine must be in the position of the free hydroxyl group. The method by which this point was settled is described in dealing with the two tetrahydro-derivatives of these alkaloids (p. 291). The constitution of palmatine (XXV R = R = Me) is dealt with under tetrahydropalmatine, but it is still necessary to describe the complete synthesis of this alkaloid via oxypalmatine (XXVII) and tetrahydropalmatine. 

Babe s general formula (p. 443) for the cinchona alkaloids was published in 1908 and a partial synthesis of quinine was effected by Babe and Kindler in 1918, but a complete synthesis of this alkaloid did not become available until 1945 when Woodward and Doering described their ingenious process. 

XXXVIII), m.p. 128°, identical with the product obtained from physostigmine (XXXIX), and, as the latter had already been synthesised from 1-eseroline by Polonovski and Nitzberg,i the work of the American authors constituted the first complete synthesis of physostigmine. 

A complete synthesis of di-heliotridane has been effected by Prelog and Zalan, 2 using Prelog s general method for the synthesis of dicyclic amines, the proximate, primary material in this case being 1 7-dibromo-4-amino-3-methylheptane hydrobromide,... 

On page 49 the possible relationships of isopinene and fenchene were mentioned. Komppa and Roschier have prepared a fenchene from o-fencho-camphorone, which they had previously prepared synthetically. The complete synthesis of this fenchene has, therefore, been achieved, a-fencho-camphorone is converted by magnesium methyl iodide into the corresponding alcohol, which is dehydrate by distillation at atmospheric pressure, yielding a-fenchene having the following characters —... 

As a demonstration of the complete synthesis of a pharmaceutical in an ionic liquid, Pravadoline was selected, as the synthesis combines a Friedel-Crafts reaction and a nucleophilic displacement reaction (Scheme 5.1-24) [53]. The allcylation of 2-methylindole with l-(N-morpholino)-2-chloroethane occurs readily in [BMIM][PF6] and [BMMIM][PF6] (BMMIM = l-butyl-2,3-dimethylimida2olium), in 95-99 % yields, with potassium hydroxide as the base. The Friedel-Crafts acylation step in [BMIM][PF6] at 150 °C occurs in 95 % yield and requires no catalyst.

These steps can be repeated to add one amino acid at a time to the growing chain or to link two peptide chains together. Many remarkable achievements in peptide synthesis have been reported, including a complete synthesis of human insulin. Insulin is composed of two chains totaling 51 amino acids linked by two disulfide bridges. Its structure was determined by Frederick Sanger, who received the 1958 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work. 

Likewise, complete synthesis of acarbose was conveniently accomplished by use of the anhydro derivative 392b prepared from maltotriose. Condensation of 392b with optically active 359 afforded two products, one of which was, after deprotection, shown to be identical to an authentic sample of acarbose. 

Fatty acids are synthesized by an extramitochondrial system, which is responsible for the complete synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA in the cytosol. In the rat, the pathway is well represented in adipose tissue and liver, whereas in humans adipose tissue may not be an important site, and liver has only low activity. In birds, lipogenesis is confined to the liver, where it is particularly important in providing lipids for egg formation. In most mammals, glucose is the primary substrate for lipogenesis, but in ruminants it is acetate, the main fuel molecule produced by the diet. Critical diseases of the pathway have not been reported in humans. However, inhibition of lipogenesis occurs in type 1 (insulin-de-pendent) diabetes mellitus, and variations in its activity may affect the nature and extent of obesity.

Telomeres are r etitive sequences at the ends of linear DNA molecules in eukaryotic chromosomes. With each round of replication in most normal cells, the telomeres are shortened because DNA polymerase cannot complete synthesis of the 5 end of each strand. This contributes to the aging of cells, because eventually the telomeres become so short that the chromosomes cannot function properly and the cells die. 

The generation of functional groups after the completed synthesis of the dendrimer (a posteriori) constitutes a quick and variable way to get access to a large number of functionalized dendrimers. 

The total synthesis of artemisinin via conventional chemistry has also been achieved. In 1983, Schmid and Hofheinz pubhshed a paper showing the complete synthesis of artemisinin from (-)-Isopulegol (Scheme 10), with 5% overall yield. Since then, several other total synthesis of arteminisin...
