(a)
Interpretation:
Given set of prostaglandins has to be classified.
Concept introduction:
Prostaglandins are synthesized in the body and they are not transported. They perform their functions at the place where they are synthesized itself and are known as local mediators. They are biochemical regulators and are even more powerful than steroids. This is synthesized biologically from arachidonic acid using an enzyme cyclooxygenases.
Classification of prostaglandin is done by following simple rules. Letters “PG” in each case represent prostaglandin and the last letter implies the substitution pattern. Few examples are,
The number of carbon-carbon double bonds in the side chain is indicated by the subscript in the end.
To classify: the given prostaglandin

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, WITH SOL. MAN/ STUDY
- In addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used separation techniques. Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…arrow_forwardBriefly describe a eutectic system.arrow_forward13.53 Draw all stereoisomers formed when each compound is treated with HBr in the presence of peroxides. a. b.
