Gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) is one of the brain's natural inhibitors, in fact, it is actually the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brains central nervous system. Normally the brain naturally regulates the…

The formation of benzilic acid results from the reaction of benzil with ethanol and potassium benzilate. In order to produce benzil, benzoin was reacted with nitric acid. A crude product of benzil was produced from the reaction of benzoin and nitric acid. Through the process of multi-step synthesis, benzil was produced through the oxidation of an alpha-hydroxyketone to an alpha-diketone using nitric acid. Prior to the reaction of nitric acid and benzoin, nitric acid was protonated to form an…

Some of the patients have noticed episodes occurring more frequently at certain times of the year, while others experience it during certain times of the day; especially in the…

Draw resonance structures showing all the positions at which the positive charge is delocalized on the aromatic ring in the phenonium ion. If a methoxy group (-OCH3) or a nitro group (–NO2) were substituted in the 4-position on the aromatic ring, how would the stability of the phenonium ion change? Compare methoxy substituted, nitro substituted and unsubstituted, and order them by increasing stability. Explain your answer thoroughly. 2) Benzopinacol and benzopinacolone have nearly…

concerned to many is the sexual assault and I never met this as well. So the scenario is imaged one. Such as a common scenario in the campus:”a group of hormone secretion exuberant boys, a group of girls around them, the guys all hyped under the alcohol burning. The second day, a girl found herself lying in the lounge, the shirt she wearing is not her own and she found her legs ache with body bruises”. This is one of the common phenomena in universities from the average college…

Alcohol is a common drug used nowadays as a downer although it is a common misconception that it is an upper. The process of making alcohol consist of having fruits, grains, and vegetables and the addition of ethanol through fermentation and was originally used to old plants about 10 million years ago. This helped maintain rotting fruit that had fallen off of trees. In the modern day alcohol has come to drinking for a good time with friends or as a means to relax. Alcohol is one of the most…

Study/Test • Article follows a study done involving the children of 30 alcoholic parents and 30 non-alcoholic parents • All parents were between 25-50 years old • Alcoholic parents were required to have engaged in a minimum of five years of alcoholism • Must have been legal guardians of children for at least five years • Children were between the ages of 12 and 17 years old • Information was gathered beforehand on basic information such as age, sex, family size and education level • Children…

carbon, breaking the C=O bond and creating a new C-H bond. When the reduction occurs, the hydride transfer will occur on the less hindered side of the carbonyl group. This addition will usually create the more hindered alcohol but will generally create a mixture of two possible alcohols, the endo product and the exo product. In this case, the exo product will be the major product, which would be isoborneol and the endo product will be the minor product, which would be borneol.…
