**Title: Identifying Electrophilic Centers in Acetone Reaction Mechanism****Instruction:**Click on the electrophilic center of all species that act as electrophiles in this mechanism:**Reaction Mechanism Illustration:**The diagram illustrates the reaction mechanism involving acetone (CH₃COCH₃). The mechanism proceeds through several steps:1. **Acetone Molecule:** - The central structure is the acetone molecule, depicted with an oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon, with two methyl groups (CH₃) attached. - Lone pairs on the oxygen atom indicate its potential to act as an electrophile.2. **First Interaction:** - An interaction with a water molecule (H₂O) is shown, where the hydroxide ion (OH⁻) attacks the carbonyl carbon. 3. **Intermediate Formation:** - The diagram progresses to show an intermediate where the oxygen from the water molecule is now bonded to the carbonyl carbon, and an additional water molecule is released. 4. **Proton Transfer:** - There is a depiction of a proton transfer, leading to the formation of an enolate ion (CH₂CO⁻). - This intermediate is stabilized by resonance, which is illustrated by arrows indicating electron movement.5. **Final Products:** - The mechanism concludes with the formation of a final product, showing another attack by a hydroxide ion on the enolate ion, resulting in the release of a negatively charged oxygen species.**Note:**You can place up to 3 targets on the diagram to indicate the electrophilic centers. Utilize the tools provided to undo, delete, or remove selections as necessary.**Interface Options:**- Targets placed: 0/3- Undo- Delete selected- Remove AllThis visualization aids in understanding the role of acetone as an electrophile and the transformation it undergoes within this mechanism.
