Norepinephrine is a hormone that provides a burst of energy and rapid heart rate in response to fear, also known as the fight or flight response a. Epinephrine is shown without stereochemistry, but the relevant stereoisomer is (R)-norepinephrine. In the space below, draw (R)-norepinephrine norepinephrine b. The two OH groups on the benzene ring of norepinephrine can be protected using a cyclic acetal formation with acetone Draw this cyclic acetal, The reaction described in b is very selective for the two OH groups on the benzene ring - the third OH group does not react. Explain why in 1-2 sentences he body, epinephrine is synthesized from norepinephrine. Give reaction conditions that would hesize epinephrine from norepinephrine in the organic synthesis lab.
