### Educational Content: Arrow-Pushing Mechanism and Organic Reaction

#### Reaction Overview
The reaction involves treating 1-chloro-2,2-dideuteroethane (ClCH₂CD₂CH₃) with hydroxide in ethanol. The aim is to predict the major organic product using the curved arrow electron-pushing mechanism.

#### Reactants
- **Hydroxide Ion (HO⁻)**: Shown with a lone pair of electrons.
- **1-chloro-2,2-dideuteroethane**: Structure includes a chlorine atom bonded to a carbon, two deuterium (D) atoms, and a methyl (CH₃) group.

#### Reaction Process
- **Initial Attack**: The lone pair of electrons on the hydroxide ion attacks the carbon bonded to chlorine, initiating a substitution reaction.
- **Leaving Group**: The chloride ion (Cl⁻) is shown leaving the carbon chain as the C-Cl bond breaks.

#### Product Formation
The product is an alcohol:
- **2,2-Dideuteropropanol Structure**:
  - The -OH group replaces the chlorine atom.
  - The carbon atoms are connected with one carbon bearing two deuterium atoms, and another connected to a methyl group.
  - Lone pairs on the oxygen of the hydroxyl group and the chloride ion are depicted.

#### Diagram Descriptions

1. **Left Diagram (Curved Arrows)**:
   - Shows electron movement: a curved arrow from the hydroxide's lone pair to the carbon atom indicates nucleophilic attack.
   - Another arrow from the C-Cl bond towards the chlorine indicates bond-breaking and chloride leaving.

2. **Right Diagram (Product Structure)**:
   - Portrays the organic product (alcohol) with relevant lone pairs on oxygen.
   - The chloride ion is shown as a separate species with lone pairs.

This mechanism exemplifies a typical nucleophilic substitution reaction, highlighting the importance of understanding electron movement in predicting reaction products in organic chemistry.
