peer agreement (net): +2imino ester Explanation: A type of ester. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2011-06-30 04:41:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Citalopram has a nitrile group (CN) (triple bond between C and N) which can be converted into an imino ester, I would think. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2011-06-30 04:41:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://emobiochemist.blogspot.com/2010/04/citalopram.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2011-06-30 04:47:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I believe the imino ester is an intermediate which eventually conversts into the ethyl ester. Esters can be formed from the reaction of alcohols (ethanol) with carboxylic acids. However, since nitriles are carboxylic acid precursors, then nitriles too can react with alcohols to produce esters. I will try to find some references.. If I am wrong, I will let you know. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2011-06-30 04:58:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is a reference to the Pinner reaction that fvasconcellos referred to: http://www.organic-chemistry.org/namedreactions/pinner-react... |
