1. Consider the acid-base equilibrium shown below on the left side. Here, the base abstracts a proton from the least hindered side of the carbonyl to form enolate LS. (a) Use the curly arrow formalism to illustrate the transformation. Now, suppose that at some time, t, both A and LS are present in solution. (b) Use the curly arrow formalism to show how a mixture of A and LS can lead to a mixture containing MS in addition to A and LS. OLI OLI Kea + BH A + LS - with Li as counterion LS MS

Complete the mechanism by adding curved arrows showing electron flow, and draw the product(s) of the reaction of pentanoic chloride with the first equivalent of the given Grignard reagent before it gets a change to react with the second equivalent. Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds, including charges where needed. Indicate the mechanism by drawing the electron-flow arrows on the molecules. Arrows should start on an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or where a new bond should be created. ► View Available Hint(s) D MN ¹ © +1¬ [1] 24 7 →→ H* H EXP. L CONT. 1 ?
