Science 1p51: lecture seven monday, january 25th, 2016. Neither health canada nor the fda can regulate the amount of nicotine in tobacco products. Nicotine can be converted to other nitrogen containing compounds nitrosamines known to be carcinogenic. Isomers: diferent compounds with the same molecular formula. Stereoisomers: isomers that difer in the way the atoms are oriented in space, but not in which atoms are bonded to which atoms. Nornicotine is found in the leaves of tobacco plants. 1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone during the curing of tobacco and combustion of tobacco products. Two forms of compound nitrosonornicotine (s) n-nitrosonornicotine is carcinogenic (left handed form of the molecule); is more deadly than the other one (s) n-nitrosonornicotine (s-nnn)
