Draw the electron pushing mechanism 

The image depicts a chemical reaction where a molecule, represented structurally, undergoes a transformation. The left side shows a molecule, which is malic acid, with the chemical structure: - A three-carbon chain with hydroxyl groups (OH) attached to the first and second carbon. - The first carbon also has a carboxylate group (COO–). - The second carbon is connected to another carbon with a carbonyl group (C=O). The reaction arrow indicates the process that this molecule undergoes. The product of this reaction, shown on the right side, includes carbon dioxide (CO₂) and an unspecified compound, contained in a blank rectangular box, which might represent another chemical product formed from this reaction. This reaction is typical in organic chemistry and might represent a decarboxylation process, where the carboxyl group is removed, releasing CO₂. The blank box likely signifies an additional product, such as an alcohol or aldehyde, formed as a result of this reaction.
