An important area of research in the pharmaceutical industry is the discovery and development of new orally active antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. Commonly used antibiotics fall into several important classes, including 3-lactams, the 

Early in the development of sulfa drugs as antibiotics, it was found that p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA, 2), which is now used in sunscreens and sunblocks, inhibits the antibacterial action of sulfanilamide. Since p-aminobenzoic acid and sulfanilamide are structurally similar, this discovery led to the speculation that the two compounds competed with each other in some biological process that was essential for bacterial growth. This speculation was eventually supported by experimentation. p-Aminobenzoic acid is used by bacteria in the synthesis of the essential enzyme cofactor folic acid (3). When sulfanilamide is present, it successfully competes with p-aminobenzoic acid for the active site in the enzyme that

The procedure for isolating and purifying the aniline formed in this experiment represents an excellent example of how the physical and chemical properties of a component in a mixture of organic substances can be exploited to isolate it without using chromatographic techniques. For example, after completing the procedure for the chemical reduction of nitrobenzene, it is necessary to remove aniline from its principal impurities, which are unchanged nitrobenzene and two by-products, benzidine (12), and 4-aminophenol (13).

These desiratives have been useful for gas chromatographic and mass spectral analyses, but since they are very sensitive to hydrolysis, their use as protecting group in multistep organic synthesis become limited. But since trimethylsilyl ethyl derivatives are more stable towards hydrolysis and can be easily removed under very mild conditions, they are more useful for protection of amines and carboxylic acids.

As target molecules of multistep organic synthesis, the molecular structure of the monomers that form synthetic ion channels and pores is always known from routine analytical methods. Structural studies, therefore, ask the question how these monomers form active ion channels and pore, i.e. focus on conformational or supramolecular analysis. Being the outcome of rational design based on known structural information, this question often comes down to the not very inspired question whether or not synthetic ion channels and pores that are already known to function as expected also form the expected active structure. Added to a lipid bilayer, a monomer of known structure can avoid the membrane (Fig. 11.13, Aa) or accumulate in transmembrane orientation (Figure 11.13, Ab), in the middle ofthe... 

Multistep organic synthesis remains a difficult endeavor, however, requiring extensive knowledge and appreciation of both the mechanism and reactivity of molecules. In a synthesis pathway, complex decision making must be balanced against the logic and creativity required for the process. The pathway chosen must provide products with the desired structures and properties in a timely fashion and at an acceptable cost. Increasingly, we expect more step and atom efficient processes to evolve to achieve better and more sustainable practices for the... 

Flow chemistry as a key enabling technology for (multistep) organic synthesis including synthesis of heterocycles 12ASCI 7. 

Cyano functionality is an important functional group in multistep organic synthesis. It facilitates the interconversion of many functional groups. The successful conversion of the carbonyl group of aldehydes (171) into oximes (173) followed by dehydration to nitriles (67) was documented by Pasha (Scheme 9.56) (Reddy and Pasha 2010).
