1. Heroin is 3, 6-diacetylmorphine. Heroin is 2-3 times more potent than morphine.

Heroin rapidly metabolizes to 6-acetylmorphine. Explain why Heroin preferentially metabolizes to 6-acetylmorphine instead of 3-acetylmorphine.

Hint: What are the acidic pKa values of the respective hydroxyl products? Look up the structures on the internet or use the UF library online e-journals.

2. The Claisen-Schmidt type reaction is a variant of the aldol condensation and an example of an addition-elimination where carbon acids function as nucleophiles reacting with unsaturated carbon centered electrophiles. Consider the acid catalyzed reaction of the two reactants below. Describe the mechanism and products of such a reaction.

Heterosexism is defined as “the discrimination or prejudice by heterosexuals against homosexuals” (merriam-webster.com) and is predicated on the belief that being heterosexual is the norm and the only accepted type of relationship.

Everyday heterosexism is exemplified in our media, our policies, and daily practices. By making these assumptions, social workers can be in part culpable for the oppression and marginalization experienced by the LGBTQ community.

As a profession, social work embraces diversity and strives to ensure equal rights for all. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is committed to supporting the needs of these groups and, in turn, they created the National Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. During this week’s discussion you will be asked to consider how one’s own personal views on sexual orientation may clash with the profession’s stance.
