What does Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMR) tell us?
Investigates chemical environments of particular element’s nuclei
3 of 9
In mass spectroscopy A substance is ionised by a beam of electrons from a heated filament. What is the general equation for this and what is the next stage?
X(g) + e- > X+(g) + 2e-

Some medicines are ‘natural products’. What does this mean?
They come directly from plants

How do chemists try to produce simple active compounds artificially?
Once the structure is known, simple inorganic molecules are synthesised directly from their elements

How do chemists try to produce complex active compounds artificially? Give an example
These can be made from similar compounds already known that can be modified. Phenol is a –COOH short of salicylic acid

What was the problem with the first ‘aspirin’?
It causes irritation in the mouth, gullet and stomach
8 of 9
How was it developed?
Felix Hoffman modified the structure to reduce side effects = 2ethanoxybenzoic acid = aspirin. It is an ester
