Second picture is instructions on how to put the arrows correctly. Specifying Hotspot End Position InstructionsMake the ends of your curved arrows specify the destination of the reorganizing electron(s) as exactly aspossible. Keep in mind that not all hotspots are interchangeable; for example, an arrow starting/ending at theinterior of an atom (represented by an atomic symbol) is not the same as an arrow starting/ending at a lone pair.correctH-ti:incorrectcorrectHH₂CC+incorrectHCH3H₂C-C+CH3CH3CH3-H*-H*H*H*H₂C=H₂C=CCH3CH3CH3CH3 H3C-OHHAOC XT:OHnefnH3C-C-HHOAcAcO-OAc*HDess-Martin periodinane provides a means to oxidize a primary alcohol to an aldehyde, while avoiding the use of toxic Cr(VI) compounds.

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.

gas, Cl¬CH2CH2¬S¬CH2CH2¬Cl, was used as a poisonous chemical agentin World War I. Mustard gas is much more toxic than a typical primary alkyl chloride. Itstoxicity stems from its ability to alkylate amino groups on important metabolic enzymes,rendering the enzymes inactive.(a) Propose a mechanism to explain why mustard gas is an exceptionally potent alkylatingagent.(b) Bleach (sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl, a strong oxidizing agent) neutralizes and inactivates mustard gas. Bleach is also effective on organic stains because it oxidizes coloredcompounds to colorless compounds. Propose products that might be formed by thereaction of mustard gas with bleach.
