H3C N- H₂NNH₂ H⭑ CH3 H3C IN CH3 Hydrazine reacts with 2,4-pentanedione to yield 3,5-dimethylpyrazole. Including protonations and deprotonations, the reaction takes 12 steps. Write out the mechanism on a sheet of paper and then draw the structure of the product of step 6. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. •You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. • In an elimination step, include the structure of the leaving group, but draw it in its own sketcher.

A step in a synthesis of PGE1 (prostaglandin E1, alprostadil) is the reaction of a trisubstituted cyclohexene with bromine to form a bromolactone. Propose a mechanism for formation of this bromolactone and account for the observed stereochemistry of each substituent on the cyclohexane ring. Alprostadil is used as a temporary therapy for infants born with congenital heart defects that restrict pulmonary blood flow. It brings about dilation of the ductus arteriosus, which in turn increases blood flow in the lungs and blood oxygenation.

A chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2 CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under the same conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C. Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structures of A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions.
