2. A Grignard reagent was prepared by reacting bromobenzene with magnesium in diethyl ether. Carbon dioxide gas was then bubbled through the solution, resulting in the formation of a solid organic product after acidic workup. What is the structure of this solid product? Draw a mechanism showing how it is formed in this reaction.

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.
Ethylene oxide is the starting material for the synthesis of 1,4-dioxane. Propose a mechanism for each step in this synthesis.

Devise a synthesis of the ketone hexan-3-one, CH3CH2COCH2CH2CH3, from CH3CH2Br as the only organic starting material; that is, all the carbon atoms in hexan-3-one must come from CH3CH2Br. You may use any other neededreagents.
