Question
Chapter 20, Problem 73P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Prostaglandins have a five-membered ring closure, thromboxanes have a six-membered ring closure. The synthesis of both groups of compounds is prevented by COX inhibitors, the COX enzymes catalyze ring closure. The relation between these facts should be correlated.
Concept introduction:
The enzyme which catalyzes the reaction of ring closure for prostaglandin is known as cyclooxygenase, or COX. The COX enzyme is present in the body in two different forms, COX-1, and COX-2.

ох
4-tert-butyl oxy cyclohex-1-ene
Incorrect, 1 attempt remaining
The systematic name of this compound classifies the -OR group as
a substituent of the hydrocarbon, which is considered the principal
functional group. The ether substituent is named with the suffix
'oxy'.
The general format for the systematic name of a hydrocarbon is:
[prefix/substituent] + [parent] + [functional group suffix]
Substituents are listed in alphabetical order. Molecules with a chiral
center will indicate the absolute configuration at the beginning of its
name with the R and S notation.
5. Compressibility (6 points total). The isothermal compressibility is a measure of how
hard/easy it is to compress an object (how squishy is it?) at constant temperature. It is
др
defined as Br=-()=-(200²)T'
(a) You might wonder why there is a negative sign in this formula. What does it mean when
this quantity is positive and what does it mean when this quantity is negative?
(b) Derive the formula for the isothermal compressibility of an ideal gas (it is very simple!)
(c) Explain under what conditions for the ideal gas the compressibility is higher or lower,
and why that makes sense.
19. (3 pts) in Chapter 7 we will see a reaction of halocyclohexanes that requires that the halogen occupy an axial position with
this in mind, would you expect cis-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane or trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane to be more
reactive in this reaction? Briefly explain your choice using structures to support your answer.
