Cocaine has been prepared by a sequence beginning with a Mannich reaction between dimethyl acetonedicarboxylate, methylamine, and butanedial. The mechanism involves the following steps: 1. Following initial protonation of the carbonyl oxygen, nucleophilic attack by the amine forms carbinolamine 1; 2. Proton transfer and elimination of water forms iminium ion 2; 3. The enol form of the dicarboxylate ester attacks the iminium ion to form adduct 3; 4. Adduct 3 tautomerizes to form enol 4; 5. Following protonation of the aldehyde, cyclization occurs as protonated carbinolamine 5 is formed; 6. Proton transfer and elimination of water lead to iminium ion 6; 7. The enol attacks the iminium ion in a second cyclization reaction to form bicyclic ion 7; 8. Deprotonation leads to the final product. Write out the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper and then draw the structure of protonated carbinolamine 1.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.
