J. Bougalt in 1904 and has since become one of the most effective ways to synthesise lactones. An example of the iodolactonisation is the reaction of 4-pentenoic acid as shown in Fig 1.1. Compound X Fig 1.1 Two simplified steps in the iodolactonisation mechanism are given in Fig 1.2. Compound X Fig 1.2 (i) Suggest the role of HCO3- in step 1. [1] (ii) Suggest the mechanism for reaction taking place in step 2. Show all charges and relevant lone pairs and show the movement of electron pairs by using curly arrows. [3] (iii) Sketch a well-labelled reaction pathway diagram for the reaction in step 2, given that the reaction is exothermic. [2] (iv) Suggest the structural formulae of the final organic product formed when CH2=CHCH(CH3)CH2CH2COOH undergoes iodolactonisation in a similar process in Fig 1.1. [1]

The formation of carboxyhaemoglobin, Hb(CO) 4, takes place much more readily than the formation of oxyhaemoglobin, Hb(O2)4. Hb(aq) + 4
