- PGF2α (Section 4.15) is synthesized in cells from arachidonic acid (C20H32O2) using a cyclooxygenase enzyme that catalyzes a multistep radical pathway. 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_forwardPGF2α (Section 4.15) is synthesized in cells from arachidonic acid (C20H32O2) using a cyclooxygenase enzyme that catalyzes a multistep radical pathway.
