Because acetaldehyde is a biological oxidation product of ethanol (Sec. 10.8), it has been suggested that salsolinol might be used as a biological marker for alcohol consumption. Draw a curved-arrow mechanism for the formation of salsolinol from acetaldehyde and dopamine. Assume acids and bases are present as needed.HO HO dopamine Figure P19.61 NH +H3C-CH HO HO NH + HO CH 3 salsolinol
