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.
Compound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr), which reacts violently with D2O togive 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C). Reaction of B with acetone (CH3COCH3)followed by hydrolysis gives D (C10H18O). Heating D with concentrated H2SO4 gives E (C10H16), which decolorizestwo equivalents of Br2 to give F (C10H16Br4). E undergoes hydrogenation with excess H2 and a Pt catalyst to giveisobutylcyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds A through F, and show your reasoning throughout
One compound that contributes to the “seashore smell” at beaches in Hawai‘i is dictyopterene D', a component of a brown edible seaweed called limu lipoa. Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO. What are possible structures of dictyopterene D'?
Treatment of a hydrocarbon A (molecular formula C9H18) with Br2 in the presence of light forms alkyl halides B and C, both having molecular formula C9H17Br. Reaction of either B or C with KOC(CH3)3 forms compound D (C9H16) as the major product. Ozonolysis of D forms cyclohexanone and acetone. Identify the structures of A–D.
Compound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr), which reacts violently with D2O to give 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C).

Compound A, C₁1 H160, was found to be an optically active alcohol. Despite its apparent unsaturation, no hydrogen was absorbed on catalytic reduction over a Pd/C catalyst. On treatment of A with dilute H₂SO4, dehydration occurred and an optically inactive alkene B, C₁₁H₁4 was produced as the major product. Alkene B, on ozonolysis, gave two products. Product C, C7H6O, was shown to be an aldehyde while product D, C4H8O, was shown to be a ketone. Draw the structure of compound C. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
