H3C- OH H ACO H 00 XIII Dess-Martin periodinane provides a means to oxidize a primary alcohol to an aldehyde, while avoiding the use of toxic Cr(VI) compounds. The mechanism involves a reaction similar to the E2 elimination, whereby a C-O double bond is formed with a reduced iodine compound as the leaving group. The reaction occurs in a nonaqueous solvent, CH₂Cl₂, so that the aldehyde product can be recovered. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

The following reactivity order has been found for the saponification of alkyl acetates by aqueous NaOH. Explain. CH3CO2CH3 > CH3CO2CH2CH3 > CH3CO2CH(CH3)2 > CH3CO2C(CH3)3
Solvolysis of the following bicyclic compound in acetic acid gives a mixture of products, two of which are shown. The leaving group is the anion of a sulfonic acid, ArSO3H. A sulfonic acid is a strong acid, and its anion, ArSO3, is a weak base and a good leaving group. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
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.
The Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction involves reduction of a ketone by treatment with an excess of aluminum triisopropoxide, [(CH3)2CHO]3Al. The mechanism of the process is closely related to the Cannizzaro reaction in that a hydride ion acts as a leaving group. Propose a mechanism.
