Please provide a detailed and clear explanation according to what question asked. Also, please provide a relevant diagram. Can ignore question ( i ) and   ( ii ) if it violates the policy.

b.
In a pharmaceutical research company located in Selangor, a
pharmacist and an organic chemist worked together to produce two
medicines which are ephedrine and enalapril. Enalapril is generally used
to treat hypertension. Then, ephedrine is extracted from a plant called
Ma Huang and one of the benefits is to reverse airway obstruction
among asthma patients. The structure of these two compounds is shown
in FIGURE Q3b.
