Which one below better describes the synthesis of steroids? Steroids synthesis depends on a cascade of carbocations and hydride and methyl shifts on a diterpene Steroids synthesis depends on the reaction of terpenes making cyclohexanes Steroids synthesis depends on epoxidation of C-2 of a triterpene that triggers carbocation rearrangements and elimination Steroids synthesis depends on conversion of a triterpene -squalene into 4 cyclohexanes fused rings

Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digi- talis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).

Linoleic acid is shown below. What makes this fatty acid particularly susceptible to autoxidation? 1. The red CH bond has a low bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic. 2. The red CH bond has a high bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic. 3. The red CH bond is the most accessible to reaction with O2 because it is the least sterically crowded CH bond. 4. Both 2 and 3.
Give an acceptable name for the major organic product formed by the following reaction: (CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂)2N + H₂SO4
Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. Focusing here on the first two columns, determine the Vmax and Km of the enzyme. Vmax Km = mM/min mM
