Prostaglandins are a naturally occurring class of compounds in our bodies that affect blood pressure, and cause inflammation and other physiological responses. The synthesis of prostaglandins in our bodies starts with arachidonic acid (see figure below), a long, unsaturated hydrocarbon containing four C=C double bonds and an acid functional group (–COOH). The stereoisomer with all cis double bonds is shown. Draw the stereoisomer with all trans double bonds. Draw the Lewis structures with the formal charges minimized. Do not include formal charges or electron pairs. You do not need to draw hydrogen atoms that are connected to carbon atoms.
