Draw the two reactants used to form the following compound, label the nucleophile and the electrophile, and using arrows show the points of attack of the nucleophile on the electrophile that enables the formation of the heterocyclic product.
Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues.
They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-
carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a
cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins.

A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Does the product have any asymmetric carbon atoms or other stereocenters?
