2,4-D is a synthetic auxin (a plant hormone) used in the control of broadleaf weeds, and one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. It is produced commercially by the following reaction: chloroacetic acid + dichlorophenol → hydrochloric acid + 2,4-D C2H3ClO2 + C6H4Cl2O → HCl + C8H6Cl2O3 How much chloroacetic acid does it take to manufacture 5.18 grams of 2,4-D?

PGF2α (Section 4.15) is synthesized in cells from arachidonic acid (C20H32O2) using a cyclooxygenase enzyme that catalyzes a multistep radical pathway. Part of this process involves the conversion of radical A to PGG2, an unstableintermediate, which is then transformed to PGF2α and other prostaglandins. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of A to PGG2. (Hint: The mechanism begins with radical addition to a carbon–carbon double bond to form a resonance-stabilized radical.)

A synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.
