QUESTION 13 (3 + 2 + 12 + 3 = 20 Marks)
Amoxicillin is a
widely prescribed, broad spectrum antibiotic. It is produced
through a semisynthetic approach. Penicillin G is extracted from
fermentation tanks and then, using penicillin amidase enzymes,
6-APA (precursor 1) is produced. A synthetic pathway to produce
amoxicillin from precursor 1 and precursor 2 is outlined on page
XX.
