STEP 1: IDENTIFY A COMPOUND

The goal of this assignment is to help you make connections among concepts that w  are learning in class and topics that you are interested. This could be something you are learning in another class or something you read about. Feel free to select any compound you wish as long as your compound contains at least 3 chiral carbons. Many medications contain multiple chiral carbons. Your molecule from Extension 1 may even have at least 3 chiral carbons. The only criteria is that these compounds are not featured in our textbook or learning materials for chapter 5.

If you are having trouble identifying a compound, search for the structural formulas for the following:

Antiviral drugs

Carbohydrates including hexoses, heptoses (many of the pentoses are in the textbook)

Opiods

Chemitherapy drugs

Pestices, such as some of the pyrethroids

Tripeptides

Statins (cholesterol medications)

Steriods, hormones, and anibolic steriodsSTEP 2: ID KEY INFORMATIONUse the power of the internet to identify the name, molecular formula, and CAS number (if available) for your compound of interest.Some resources to get your started:

PubChem (NIH): 

https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

ChemID Plus (NIH):

NIST Chemistry WebBook:

Step 3: check if someone else selected the compound, I have attached a picture of the compounds that are already selected.

Step 4: let me know what compound you selected before you start.

Step5: complete the assignment.

This will require several drawings that are labeled.

These drawings should be pasted into the document, NOT submitted separately as pictures.

All drawings are to be computer generated (You can use any application you wish. : 

https://marvinjs-demo.chemaxon.com/latest/demo.html

). There are two ways to include images into the doc.

Print out your drawings and label them by hand. Make sure that you have a CLEAR image to incorporate in the final doc.

Label them in the drawing program using the text feature.
