Recognizing Functional Groups This compound reverses and prevents symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Huntingdon’s diseases in animal models (ChemEng News, 2011)
use of primary (1o), secondary (2o) and tertiary (3o) designations
CH3CH2OH Ethyl Alcohol: oldest recreational drug; at low doses causes euphoria. Ethylene: Plant hormone; controls ripening of fruits. H2C=CH2 Chloral Hydrate: hypnotic, sedative; used for insomnia. Simple Organic Compounds used in Medicine or Otherwise Isoamyl Nitrite: vasodilator; treatment of angina; recreational drug. Dichloroacetic acid (DCA): potentially useful for cancer treatment, especially brain cancers (trials ongoing). Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB): treatment of narcolepsy; has now gained illicit use; similar to alcohol in effect. Nitroglycerin: vasodilator; treatment of angina; explosive used in Dynamite. Valproic Acid: established drug for epilepsy, bipolar disorder, depression. Barbital: first marketed barbiturate (hypnotic; sedative). Amantadine: Parkinson’s disease; fatigue in MS patients; once used for influenza.
