    ASSIGNMENT QUESTION As discussed in class, the chemical TAXOL found in Yew trees were found to be effective for treatment of cancer patients. However, one 100-year old tree was only able to produce a mere 300mg of the chemical. Thanks to the advancement of chemical technology, scientists were able to synthesis TAXOL and mass produce for the use of many. a. Give an example of a beneficial natural product that has been synthesis for commercialization. Mention also the origin of the product (example: X enzyme from toads) and its benefits (example: to improve complexion) [Chin Seng Huan] [8 marks] b. Explain the steps taken to produce this product. Include if possible; the products molecular structure, type of reactions, reagents, catalysts, solvents, temperature and other parameters/conditions involved in the synthesis process. [MCM&Aus] [20 marks] c. Using a schematic diagram, discuss the mechanism of one of the reaction that is involved in the synthesis of this product. [Kah Wai] [15 marks] d. Name one other example of a natural product that has been synthesis and commercialized, found naturally in Malaysia. [Nicholas] [5 marks]
