Lanreotide is a drug employed in the management of acromegaly (a hormonal condition caused by excess growth hormone) in addition to symptoms caused by neuroendocrine tumors, especially carcinoid syndrome.
Chemical structures of SRIF-14, lanreotide, and octreotide.
4-methylmorpholine appears as a water-white liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. May be moderately toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Very irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Used as a solvent and to make pharmaceuticals.
Synthesis of β-LEAP. DIPEA=N,N’-diisopropylethylamine, NMM=4-methylmorpholine, HATU=O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate, TEA=triethylamine, TFA=trifluoroacetic acid.
Pentane is a straight chain alkane consisting of 5 carbon atoms. It has a role as a non-polar solvent and a refrigerant. It is a volatile organic compound and an alkane.
TLC plate showing the different polarities of diastereoisomers 6A,D-di-C-allyl-substituted nonadecaned-O-benzylated β-cyclodextrin in pentane/ethyl acetate 4:1 eluent (left). The figure shows how steric hindrance of the subsequent glucose residue prevents the C-6 substituent from entering the tg conformation, thus forcing each diastereomer to adopt the conformer shown (right).
Butyllithium is a highly reactive organolithium compound used as a strong base and a source of lithium in organic synthesis. It's a versatile reagent, particularly for deprotonation and metal-halogen exchange reactions, and is used in the production of polymers like synthetic rubber. However, it's also highly flammable and reactive, posing fire and explosion hazards.
The synthesis of candidate inhibitors that bear a nonaro-matic oxazole C5-substituent.
Ethyl vinyl ether is a colorless, flammable liquid that is highly reactive due to the presence of both vinyl and ether functionalities. It is commonly used as a monomer in polymerization reactions to create various polymers and copolymers, as well as a building block in organic synthesis.
