Question
Chapter 25, Problem 35DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of acetate and propanoate units are to be determined in the given structure of
Concept Introduction:
An acetate unit contributes two carbon atoms in a synthesis while a propanoate unit contributes three carbon atoms.
In
The methyl carbon atom in propanoate is the beta carbon atom and remains unreacted in the synthesis.
The number of methyl groups indicate the number of propanoate units in the synthesis.

d-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compounds by reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and, therefore, readily excreted. After ingestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in urine. Draw the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of beta-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.
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.
