Explain why cyclopentadiene (pKa = 15) is more acidic than pyrrole (pKa ∼17), even though nitrogen ismore electronegative than carbon.
Explain the relevance pi* (antibonding) -molecular orbitals have in nucleophilic addition reactions of carbonyl containing compounds.
Explain this statement: Although 2-methoxyacetic acid (CH3OCH2COOH) is a stronger acid than acetic acid (CH3COOH), p-methoxybenzoic acid (CH3OC6H4COOH) is a weaker acid than benzoic acid (C6H5COOH).

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.)arrow_forward
