For Multi-Step Synthesis of Benzocaine:
1) Why don't we simply oxidize p-toluidine with KMnO4 to make p-aminobenzoic acid? Wouldn't that be a fsater method? What unwanted reaction(s) may occur?
2)The isolation of p-aminobenzoic acid is the trickiest step due to the formation of an amino compound. Why don't we do the esterification step prior to the deprotection step?
which pathway does not involve both the cytoplasm and the mitochondria? (both cell locations do not have to occur for the same % of the pathway).
fermentation
aerobic respiration
fatty acid synthesis
beta oxidation
