2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine is frequently used for making derivatives of ketones andaldehydes because the products (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones, called 2,4-DNP derivatives)are even more likely than the phenylhydrazones to be solids with sharp melting points.Propose a mechanism for the reaction of acetone with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in amildly acidic solution.

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.
