8) The drug aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) operates by acylation of the side-chain alcohol of serine-530 on the enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), inhibiting the production of inflammatory signaling molecules. O ОН HO OH COX2 Ser-530 COX2 Ser-530 OH Using the standard, curved-arrow formalism, provide a mechanism for this transformation under acidic conditions. (10 points) Draw the most likely protonation state of acetylsalicylic acid at pH 7. Using a convincing structural drawing, explain why this reaction proceeds spontaneously without added acid or base.
